UK Housing Crisis Will Not Be Solved Without All Solutions on the Table

The housing crisis in high-demand UK cities will only be solved for the long-term through a multi-pronged approach to freeing up land supply – including increasing the density of existing communities, and encouraging cities to work more collaboratively with their neighbouring authorities, a new Centre for Cities report has argued. Critically, it also highlights the importance for land both within and outside of cities to be re-evaluated on its merits, including certain green belt sites connected to local amenities and infrastructure – an essential component of tackling the crisis which has largely been designated ‘off limits’ in public debate ahead of the 2015 Election. Download the report from the Centre for Cities website.
