“We can combine the building of new houses with low carbon and carbon-free homes. We can combine the building of homes with the building of communities with combined heat and power and a whole range of eco-measures, including better public transport and cycle lanes that actually make it possible for us to have a very much higher quality of life in our new buildings and in our new towns. That’s what lies behind a proposal for Eco-Towns.”
The Prime Minister, 13 May 2007
