Summary:

SUN DIAL was the journal of the Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood Initiative. One of the recommendations to arise from our work '21st Century Homes' funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation was that we need models for urban environments capable of making our cities into humane, pleasant places to live. These we called sustainable urban neighbourhoods. The SUN DIAL initiative was supported by the DoE’s Environmental Action Fund and a well known charitable trust.
