This event, attended by over 70 people, including local councillors, MPs, academics, and representatives from charities, consultancies, and private sector institutions, began with four thematic presentations by the project officers from LSE London: Planning, development, and land supply; Improving renting; Alternative housing; The role of foreign money. Each presentation discussed what we ‘know’ currently about each issue, presenting the traditional story conveyed to the public by the media and political discourse. Then, each presenter discussed recent research from LSE London that reveals important lessons for each theme. Finally, an array of ‘solutions’ that have been proposed for each issue were presented for discussion and debate. Alan Benson of the GLA and Duncan Bowie of the University of Westminster kicked off the discussion portion of the evening, offering their comments on the thematic presentations and posing important questions and critiques of commonly suggested solutions. Presentations and briefings are available online.
