Just spent the afternoon at a London professional meeting & was cheered to find GREAT support for challenges to build-build-build+blame planning. Both UK political parties seen as hopelessly wrong. I gave a short talk on post-growth which got great support. Can we turn the tide?
The event was the annual briefing meeting of the London Planning and Development Forum and the Cambridge University Land Society.
Here is an earlier article which I did with two colleagues, Jess Ferm and Matt Thompson which appeared in the January 2025 issue of Planning in London.
