Unit 2: The Crown at a Crossroads (2nde_gr1)

King Charles, an environmentalist.

The document under study is an extract from a news report from ABC News, published 4 days before King Charles III’s coronation in May 2023. It deals with his commitment in architecture, sustainability and his will to create a better way of life for the British people. Indeed, he started to develop a project in a city called Poundbury in 1987, a city that has 5000 inhabitants and 250 businesses. His goal was to create a better living environment for people living there.

Charles is an environmentalist like his father was, Prince William is called to walk in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather. Unlike Queen Elisabeth who never tackled  environmental issues.
