Why aren't we building enough attractive homes? Myths, misunderstandings and solutions

Publication Year

2012

Document Status

Current

Abstract

Examines why the UK is unable to build enough homes and why development is often of poor design. Argues that building more could drive UK growth over the short and medium term, whilst changes to build more attractive housing and urban environments would drive up quality of life. Sets out short term options to help do this such as new models for self-build, brownfield liberalisation, urban extensions and new Garden Cities.
