Joined by Setareh Neshati, Head of Development, Westminster City Council; Yẹmí Aládérun, Head of Development, Meridian Water; and Alex Ely, Founding Director at Mae will be discussing the delivering on the promise of more homes, healthy homes and better homes.

 

Everyone agrees we need more social housing, but what if the real question is: how do we build it better?

 

We’re not just talking about numbers. We’re talking about homes people are proud to live in. Places that are inclusive, sustainable, and built to last.

 

The panel will be delving into the vital conversation on how to build exemplary housing for the future, while avoiding the mistakes of the past.

 

Join the discussion and find out: what’s standing in the way of progress? How do we deliver inclusive, aspirational homes at scale?and what does better actually look like?
