The UK is currently experiencing a major housing shortage, and the Government has made home-building its number one priority. New targets, legislation, standards and guidelines are rapidly being published, and it is now up to the architectural and home-building communities to deliver housing schemes which fulfil Government criteria.

Designers need to understand what is working and where developments are being made in order to deliver the next generation of homes.
