The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) is launching a debate about who should build our homes. As the housing market begins to stabilise after a traumatic period of decline, a new report asks whether we should focus on restoring the way things were done in the boom or explore new models of housebuilding.
The debate starts with six housing experts contributing their own strong views through a collection of essays entitled Who should build our homes? They put the case for much less reliance on build-to-sell and for renting to become the norm once again. They also argue for self-build and community commissioned housing to enter the mainstream instead of being marginalised at the periphery.
