Traditional housing typologies have evolved around the nuclear family, the commute, and a clear distinction between work and home. How can we rethink planning and housing to allow diverse, fluid communities to live more sustainable lives?

Watch this webinar replay as we look at innovations in housing delivery in both the public and private sectors including fresh thinking about what constitutes a successful community and the challenges and opportunities surrounding evolving delivery models, ambitious environmental targets, Modern Methods of Construction and a renewed focus on health and well-being.

Presentations draw on case studies to illustrate best practice, highlight key challenges and offer practical solutions for improving the resilience, sustainability and desirability of the UK’s housing stock.
