Conservative Party Conference: Climate Crisis v Housing Crisis?

Climate Crisis vs Housing Crisis: Does Something Need to Give?

How does the UK’s climate and environmental ambitions coexist with the strides being taken to tackle our long-term housing affordability crisis? All players in the housing, planning and property sectors have challenging targets for progressing towards a Net Zero future, but how achievable are these aspirations, how long will it take and what needs to be done in the meantime?

The BPF, HBF and the RTPI bring together a panel of industry experts to explore the barriers the sector faces in addressing these two great challenges of our day.

The panel discussion will take place at:

Conservative Party Conference Monday 4th October, 12.30pm

• Chetham Suite, Novotel Manchester Centre, 21 Dickinson Street, Manchester, M1 4LX

Speakers:

• Dr Wei Yang, Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) President
• Nick Walkley, President UK Strategic Advisory (Avison Young)
• Neil Jefferson, Home Builders Federation (HBF) Managing Director
