The ability to house its people is a fundamental responsibility of any government. It is something that we have debated and argued over for more than a hundred years.
In this report Jon Rowland and Dr Nicholas Falk of the the Academy of Urbanism, draw on experience of working with hundreds of places across the UK and Europe, many of which have been shortlisted and assessed as part of its annual Urbanism Awards scheme. Drawing on this rich resource of learning, and in particular a series of case studies that have been the subject of awards, they make a series of recommendations to help resolve the way we provide housing and what sort of housing is provided.
