AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE HOMES: Where could India and England collaborate?

The nine presentations considered the issues of how to make housing both affordable and sustainable, where to build new housing to minimise environmental impacts, and what could be done to create effective partnerships with investors. Both Bristol and Tirunelveli are both expanding university towns with high levels of housing demand.
