Architecture Academy
About this episode

In this episode we talk to acclaimed architects Kate Macintosh and Peter Barber about housing.

In the UK, a whole generation have been priced out of owning or renting high quality homes to live in. This is especially the case in large cities, with London being the most extreme case. In this episode we try to understand why and how this has happened and explore what architects and non-architects can do about it.
