Please see below (---) for details of 'UCL Question Time: London's Housing Crisis', 13th April at UCL, London. All welcome, but please register via eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ucl-question-time-londons-housing-crisis-tickets-22169345108 Thanks! ------------------------- Housing is one of the key issues in London’s mayoral election. Spiralling property prices, limited housing stock and a rapidly-growing population are making it increasing difficult for Londoners to find a place to live. Home ownership has become accessible only to the wealthiest, and rented accommodation is under enormous pressure, offering substandard or prohibitively expensive options that offer no long-term security. What can be done to address London’s housing crisis? Does the current policy debate offer the right answers? Who are the key stakeholders and how can they work together to deliver solutions? UCL Grand Challenges and UCL Public Policy are hosting a ‘Question Time’ event on London’s housing crisis ahead of the Mayoral election, bringing together stakeholders from public policy, the private sector, NGOs and others to consider the most pressing housing issues for London and potential solutions. Chaired by Peter Wynne Rees CBE (UCL Professor of Places and Planning, and former City of London Planning Officer), the panel will include Duncan Bowie (University of Westminster), Alice Martin (new economics foundation), Austen Reid (Circle Housing), and June Barnes (Board member, Urban & Civic property developers).
