ISSUE 17
Welcome to CIH Unlocked, our member-exclusive publication delivering expert housing insight and analysis straight to your inbox.
This issue’s big focus is on equality, diversity, and inclusion, and for our lead piece, I catch up with Bradford-based Manningham Housing Association to find out more about the success they’ve seen as a result of their commitment to EDI. Meanwhile, Alma Sheren looks at how the built environment industry might be able to rectify its historical lack of diversity – and reap the benefits of doing so.
Elsewhere, we’ve got an exclusive comment from CIH Cymru national director Matt Dicks on how more support for modular and offsite manufacturing in Wales could help to boost the supply of much-needed affordable and social homes.
We also have an exclusive piece from Justin Cartwright on CIH Northern Ireland’s response to the call for evidence for a revised Strategic Planning Policy Statement regarding the issue of climate change, which, as Justin says, requires “significant revision” to effectively deliver a low-carbon future.
Following on from our popular UK Housing Review recorded discussion with John Perry, this issue includes a discussion with Dr Peter Williams, another of the review’s authors. I chat with Dr Williams about his chapter on private housing, which covers everything from shared ownership to the decline in the number of first-time buyers.
As always, we welcome your feedback on Unlocked, and you can find more information on how to share your thoughts with us at the bottom of the newsletter.
