Housing for All: Imagining the Homes of the Future
The World Transformed
As the housing crisis rages on, a growing number of people are trapped in poverty and even homelessness. Building more social housing is a priority for a Labour Government, yet historically, various governments have struggled to meet ambitious targets, leading to poor quality designs and constructions. How can we learn from these experiences to build high-quality, affordable housing for all? And what would the architecture of a radical housing programme look like? Come and collectively imagine it.
