Britain’s ongoing housing shortage has once again come under the spotlight, with new research highlighting that the issue is not one of demand or land availability—but rather decades of underbuilding.
In a landmark speech delivered in Manchester, Andy Burnham set out an ambitious vision that could significantly reshape the housing landscape.
