Event Description
It is rare that a week goes by without a housing related topic being in the headlines. This is expected given our nation's housing crisis that is impacting our communities, our economy, and our future.
The RTPI's planifesto 2024 called on political parties across the UK to support planners and realise the economic, social, and environmental potential of planning. It included, amongst others, ideas for how political leaders in England could 'promote sufficient, safe, and sustainable homes' and 'make what we have go further'.
