A healthy home is the foundation for a thriving life. So why are we still allowing developers to build the slums of the future?
One in ten people in the UK live in poor quality housing. Many new homes are poorly located, sub-standard, unsafe and unaffordable. And some truly shocking housing is being produced through permitted development (PD) conversions, where profits matter more than people.
This photo booklet reveals the scale of the problem, but it also showcases solutions to the crisis of poor quality housing. We know how to build homes that are healthy, affordable, zero carbon and adaptable. And we know that those homes must be built to create complete, compact and connected neighbourhoods. Now, we just need the political will to make it happen.
