Really looking forward to this on Friday at the Barbican and hearing from lots of Tibbalds friends and collaborators on this important topic. Having spent much of the last 10+ years working on the design, planning and delivery of public housing for a wide range of boroughs and public landowners it will be really good to see how these speakers will respond to the challenge and set out their manifesto for change! Tickets here: https://lnkd.in/esripGK2 UPDATE: My takeaways from the event......... 1: Invest in public housing directly as will create massive savings in housing benefit (currently ￡55BN+ annual spend) as well as other benefits around housing security and if done well - quality. At the moment we spend less than 10% of the housing benefit budget on new affordable homes or retrofit. This also means having a minister for public housing. AND making space for community led and smaller scale delivery via CLTs and self build projects. 2: Move housing (and especially social/affordable) from being an asset/commodity to necessary public infrastructure. 3: Technology alone won't/can't save us. We have to look carefully at what is being BIM'd and MMC'd and avoid "hostile" typologies that impact negatively on quality of life. 4: Put in place key protections around design, focussed on where they support quality of life and including enforceable rules around circulation a: the stop and chat rule, b: the place to sit rule, c: the washable robust surfaces rule. The absence of good design in housing focussed on quality of life and liveability is a public health matter. 5: Passivhaus for all homes as this delivers significant benefits around fuel poverty and operational carbon. It isn't hard but we really do need to address the performance and skills gap in construction. 6: A strategic and holistic view of retrofit based on replicable models for housing typologies rolled out by those skilled to do so. Funding the skills needed as well as the implementation. 7: Land value tax/land betterment tax. Lots say its a good idea but so far noone has had the guts. 8: Put children first in the way development is planned, delivered and managed. Always. 9: Acknowledge that sometimes bigger developments are harder to bring forward and that we need to value small as well as big. 10: Get on with making change and don't wait for others to do it. LOTS to think about!

Exactly one month ago today, experts within the fields of social housing, urban planning, architecture and more joined forces during the first day of the World Garden Cities Conference 1924/2024, an impression of which you can view below.

Brava to the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture's first recipients of the Fellowship to Advance Equity in Architecture: Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz Garcia / WAI Architecture Think Tank. Their work references "racism, settler-colonialism, disability studies, ecological justice, and other topics germane to the pedagogies of the built, destroyed, and imagined environments that comprise architecture and related fields."

Conversations around the dire need to update the now 30-year-old Chicago Historic Resources Survey (CHRS) - fieldwork completed 1994, published in 1996 - have been going on for years. Since we use this important tool daily at JLK, we are also often discussing its shortcomings. Historic Modern and Postmodern buildings across the city are not captured by CHRS, which only reviewed properties built through 1940. There are also major gaps throughout neighborhoods on Chicago’s South and West sides. Most recently I was struck by the impending demolition of two properties at 720 N Wells and 207 W Superior in River North, neither of which are recognized for potential historic or architectural significance by the survey. The properties anchor the corner along adjacent blocks where late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial properties remain intact, an increasingly rare condition in the neighborhood which has seen a surge in new development over the last few decades. It will require significant funding and effort to update CHRS, but investing in the protection of the diverse architectural heritage that conveys the city’s cultural significance also plays an important role in building a more equitable and sustainable Chicago. https://lnkd.in/g2jz2Hps

The construction industry is a pivotal force in the quest to mitigate the housing shortage, a challenge that has become increasingly complex in Canada. As a primary provider of new housing solutions, the industry’s role is crucial in erecting structures and shaping the future of urban and suburban landscapes. However, this task is not without formidable obstacles.

Just published: a new blog post about housing’s critical position for the future of cities In the post, Jason Montgomery discusses his recent Architecture_MPS article 'Addressing urban social and spatial stratification: testing the potential for integration of public housing', which explores vital questions surrounding the survival of public housing in New York City.
