Four Visions for the Future of Housing
In the first event in our season on ‘The Future of Housing’, our panel considers the effects and implications of the UK’s housing crisis.
Britain is in the grip of a housing crisis, which despite being recognised by politicians from all sides shows no sign of abating. In this event, a panel of speakers explores the costs of the current housing crisis, assessing their nature and implications – whether social, economic, psychological or environmental.
Speakers:
Alison Brooks – Director, Alison Brooks Architects
Campbell Robb – Chief Executive, Shelter
Polly Toynbee – Author, campaigner and columnist for The Guardian
Tony Travers – Professor, LSE and Director, LSE London
Sarah Gaventa (chair) – Interim Director of the Architecture Foundation
Tickets have now sold out, but we will be live tweeting the event from @architecture_RA from 6.30pm this evening.
