This workshop addressed the issues of how to make housing more affordable, particularly to those on low incomes, and considered both new housing and the existing stock ( with an emphasis on the former) in and around the City of Oxford. With average house prices some 15 times average incomes, and the need to provide 28,000 new homes in Oxford alone, there is an urgent need to balance the need for numbers and higher design standards with making sure those on lower incomes are not squeezed out. The workshop is one of a series that aim to bring academics, policy makers and practitioners together with concerned members of the community. After a series of short presentations, there will be a panel discussion followed by workshops to examine different kinds of option. A report is now available to download>

This event took place in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University on Monday 2nd March 2015
