Getting To the Nub of the Housing Crisis

ResPublica launched their latest policy paper 'Devo Home: A double devolution of housing to people and places' recently. At the heart of the report is a proposal for new ‘Local Place Partnerships’ (LPPs). These bodies will act as ‘dedicated institutions’ designed to provide the necessary focus to ‘recast local authorities as coordinators of development’ and ultimately promote swift delivery. The principles underpinning LPPs are consistent with the characteristic emphasis placed by ResPublica on institutional reform as a way of generating change. Their remit will encompass place-making and enforcing cooperation across local authority boundaries.  Download a copy of the report from the ResPublica website.
