16th June/Housing Londoners: Is it just a numbers game?/Kings Place/London

One million more Londoners will need homes over the next decade. Yet the current level of house building in London is only skimming the surface of housing need, and the impact on levels of affordability is well documented.

This debate will take as its starting point the desperate need to house our growing, changing, population, and examine how we can achieve the numbers, while creating great neighbourhoods and quality homes that reflect both our changing lifestyles and an aesthetic value that London can be proud of.
