Episode Details

Londons housing crisis may find a solution in mid-rise buildings, according to a new report. The city assemblys planning committee urges the mayor to make these buildings the default for new homes in high-access areas. This approach aims to increase supply without drastic changes. Currently, London is less dense than peer cities, with over eighty-eight percent of homes being low-rise. The committee proposes updating the London Plan with a clear density guide tied to transit access and borough tools for quality mid-rise projects. They emphasize the need for strong design codes and community buy-in to avoid backlash and build trust.
