The Critic has very kindly already posted the article I wrote for their August/September issue, because I am conscious that the government is deeply immersed in formulating its plans for solving the housing crisis, including how and where to build the new towns it proposed in its manifesto.

Its not going to be easy for them, as the last government found, because of the strength of opposition to large-scale new development in the places where it is most needed. The big issue is how to provide big tracts of new housing without overloading the existing infrastructure, which is why it is sensible to think of planned new towns, including new schools and community facilities, instead of just tacking new housing schemes onto green field sites which is what developers tend to prefer.
