  • Abstract:

    The factors that have shaped the housing industry in the UK over the past 30 years are reviewed. The market for new houses is described, as is the house builders’ response, the influence of the costs of house building on the financial structure of firms and the development of design standards. The implications of these factors are related to the major problem of redeveloping inner cities. This in turn identifies the need for a radically new approach to planning. A new planning system is proposed in which the role of central government and the districts is modified and the counties are replaced by regional planning commissions with wider responsibilities.
