James Heartfield and James Woudhuysen are the leading directors of audacity, and regularly broadcast on radio and television.

Kate Moorcock Abley is the managing director of audacity, and with husband Ian Abley, an architect engaged on a four year Engineering Doctorate at the Centre for Innovative and Collaborative Engineering at Loughborough University, they manage the projects undertaken.

While James, James, Kate and Ian write for www.audacity.org for free and in a fully independent spirit, they charge clients full commercial rates for the exercise of that spirit elsewhere.

Environmentalism is the ideology of capitalism in retreat from production. (1)

Things will endure less than us. Every generation must build its own city. (2)

audacity is a campaigning company concerned with the design and production of the man-made environment, advocating development free from the burden of "sustainababble" and "communitwaddle". We believe in citizens, not cities, but that raises important questions:

Where to build in 2009? 14.04.2009

Where are the citizens? 09.07.2008

Unless we bring politics back down to earth from heaven our critical, social and intellectual lives will be diminished. (3)

audacity argues for accelerating and advancing development to support the benefits of British and international population growth, promotes high levels of immigration, and applauds greater social aspiration. We believe in expanding political freedoms to build a material world fit for humanity:

We are witnessing a British built "housing crisis" that Government is powerless to resolve 23.07.2008

Britain doesn't add up 11.03.2009

audacity organises authoritative international research, engaging seminars, large conferences, a provocative website and a dynamic school of writers, public speakers and photographers. Read us, listen to us, argue with us, write for us and sponsor us with cash!

Sustainability... another way of deciding who is in charge. (4)
