The Centre for Environmental Studies (CES) was set up in 1966 as an independent body with the broad aims of promoting research and education in the planning and design of the physical environment. At the same time it was hoped to provide a forum where practitioners and researchers, both in this country and abroad, could discuss problems of common interest and determine research needs.
The Centre was financed by funds from the Ford Foundation and the UK Government. During its existence, CES researched into and monitored such things as industry, employment, housing, planning land use, local government organisation and other aspects of the environment as well as organising conferences, workshops and seminars and financing publications and fellowships.
The original members of the Governing Body were: Lord Llewelyn-Davies (Chairman) Lord Fiske (Vice-Chairman) C D Foster Lord Holford Professor J R James Earl Jellicoe Doctor M Meyerson I V Pugh M Rayne Councillor W L Taylor
Early in 1981, the CES was wound down as part of the Government spending cuts and any of its continuing pursuits and legal obligations were undertaken by the Department of the Environment.
