Delivering Housing for London: 16 March

Addressing London’s housing needs is a key topic at the forthcoming Mayoral election, with all of the major candidates promising to build 50,000 homes a year. London contains a number of large Opportunity Areas, and there is an expectation that these areas will be “unlocked” through transport improvements to accommodate significant volumes of medium-density housing. Join us for two events jointly organised by the Transport Planning Society and the Urban Design Group to explore this topic.
