Urban Bites #13 focusing on the housing crisis. With Stefano Smith FRTPI FRSA Tom Ockendon Peter Smith
With the recent announcement of the new national housing agency, “More Homes Scotland” the timing couldn’t be better. There’s real momentum building around how to deliver more – and better – homes across the country. The key question is how to turn ambition into action.
They will be exploring:
What’s driving the current crisis
What needs to change systemically
How collaboration across sectors can unlock delivery
And what this means for Scotland’s cities and communities
Looking forward to a lively discussion – and continuing the conversation afterwards at the Curler’s Rest.
All welcome. Come along, bring your questions, and be part of the debate
