Show Notes
In this episode of The Truth About Local Government, we sit down with Cllr John Merry CBE, Chair of Key Cities and Deputy City Mayor of Salford, to explore the pivotal role cities can play in meeting the UK Government’s ambitious target of building 1.5 million new homes by the end of this Parliament.
As part of our ongoing research project, Turbocharging Housebuilding in Cities and Urban Areas, we discuss the challenges and opportunities facing urban areas, the importance of public-private collaboration, and how networks like Key Cities are shaping the national housing agenda. With the final report due later this summer, this conversation sets the stage for a deeper dive into the findings and policy recommendations to come.
