In 2000, the UK Government Department for Education and Skills (DfES) piloted 27 new primary school projects around the country in an initiative called ‘Classrooms of the Future’. Starting with a polemical question: what is ‘a Classroom of the Future’?, it encouraged both a design-led approach and an exploration of where the theory of the classroom design meets teaching practice. David Miliband, the government minister involved, described the challenge as ‘designing inspiring buildings that can adapt to educational and technological change’ (DfES, 2002a). Chris Bissell from the DfES, the initiator of ‘Classrooms of the Future’ summed up his expectations: ‘to deliver the best and most effective education exploiting all the possibilities of the information age, school buildings need to reflect advances in technology. They need to provide a pleasant and comfortable environment for learning and to use architectural and design features to stimulate children's imaginations. And they need to be open to wider use, binding schools to their local communities.’ (DfES, 2002a)

The English scheme of arrangement process has, in many ways, proved a reliable friend to distressed companies and their majority finance creditors in the decade following the financial crisis. However, experience of using the scheme process to achieve a debt restructuring has highlighted a number of areas where it could be improved for the present, or to make it more adaptable in the future. This article was written at a time when the Insolvency Service had launched a review of the corporate insolvency framework in the UK (and published many of the responses which it has received to the consultation), and the European Commission had published a proposal for a new Directive setting minimum harmonisation standards for restructuring law. Both the consultation and the proposal have significant implications for the reform agenda, and the Government has published its response to the UK consultation just as this article is going to press. This paper focuses on the introduction of a preliminary moratorium as a gateway to restructuring efforts, the crucial question of how to value the enterprise if a cram down mechanism is introduced and the role of the insolvency practitioner in the scheme context.

Many jurisdictions around the world are seeking to develop an effective mechanism for rescuing financially distressed but viable businesses. In the UK a number of different mechanisms exist which can be used to restructure distressed companies. The purpose of this paper is to assess the debt restructuring mechanisms currently available to companies in English law and to consider the proposed reform of the UK regime, announced by the Government in August 2018. It is argued that reform is needed, and that in general the proposals to introduce a restructuring moratorium and a restructuring plan which includes a cross class cramdown are to be welcomed. However, these reforms will need to be introduced with care in order to ensure that an appropriate balance is maintained between the interests of the company and the interests of the creditors and that, ultimately, the UK’s regime remains fit for purpose for the future.

<p class="Abstract"><em>The protected forest area has various functions for human living. The protected forest area is a strategic area which has a function to protect the biodiversity and macro climate, as well as water use balancer. The Act No. 12 of 2012 be the basic for Balikpapan City detailing the spatial planning (RTRW) to the detail spatial planning (RDTR) as the strategic areas of socio-cultural and the environment. The region includes three strategic areas, i.e. protected areas, education, and housing on the water. The concept of sustainable development that focuses on balancing environmental, social and economic become a macro approach to the preparation of a detailed plan for the third strategic area.Currently, the protected forest areas of Wain River and Manggar River currently indicate endangered in the future due to the growing activity over the land, as well as coal mining industry around protected areas. The article aims to determine the direction of development planned in the structuring of protected forest areas that could potentially reduce the impact of threats in the future. The results showed that the management of protected forest areas conducted through the concept of "developmental conservation". This concept was conducted through the collaboration role between the government as the regulator to the development of the natural attractions activity and the local communities as the main stakeholder of tourism development. This concept provides the protection conservation of protected forests at the same time generating economic value for local communities and government.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

Changing Demographics

Due to changing demographics, the UK faces a significant shortage of school places. The UK government aims to build large numbers of new schools to meet this demand. However, legally binding carbon emissions mitigation commitments might limit the ability of the government to adequately meet this demand on-time, on-budget, and within sustainability targets. This paper assesses the opportunity for prefabricated engineered timber construction methods to help meet the demand for new primary and secondary school buildings in the UK within these constraints. Building on a study of past government-led school building programmes and the state-of-the-art developments in engineered timber construction, this paper outlines the benefits that an engineered timber school building programme could have on a sustainability and procurement level. A strategy is then proposed for the wider adoption of engineered timber for the construction of school buildings in the UK, including detailed guidelines for designers and policymakers. The study concludes with recommendations for the adaptation of this strategy in different countries, depending on context-specific requirements, therefore promoting a generalised adoption of sustainable and efficient construction processes.

The future relationship between the UK and the EU remains unclear. Despite that uncertainty the economy has gained momentum over the last few months, fiscal outturns have been better and financial markets appear to be sanguine about the uncertainty. It is against this backdrop that the Chancellor will have announced the Budget on 29 October, after this Review went to press.Our main forecast is conditional on a ‘soft’ Brexit, but we also describe the consequences of an orderly no-deal Brexit. Under our soft Brexit scenario, the Chancellor will have the necessary space under the fiscal mandate to borrow on average an additional £16 billion per year between 2019–20 and 2022–23 compared with the OBR spring forecast. This, together with better revenues, provides room for the Chancellor to spend an average of around £30 billion more over the same period. Under the no-deal Brexit scenario, borrowing would be an average of £14 billion higher than in the soft Brexit case.Even though the government complies with the fiscal mandate under the soft Brexit scenario, it is unlikely to meet its medium-term objective to balance the budget unless it chooses to tax more.
