England has a housing crisis. We need to build many more new homes
to house our growing population, but house building is
controversial, particularly when it involves the loss of
countryside. Addressing both sides of this critical debate, Shaun
Spiers argues that to drive house building on the scale needed,
government must strike a contract with civil society: in return for
public support and acceptance of the loss of some countryside, it
must guarantee high quality, affordable developments, in the right
locations. Simply imposing development, as recent governments of
all political persuasions have attempted, will not work. Focusing
on house building and conservation politics in England, Spiers uses
his considerable experience and extensive research to demonstrate
why the current model doesn't work, and why there needs to be both
planning reform and a more active role for the state, including
local government.
