As a nation, England is failing the basic test of providing a decent home for all. But a hopeful future is available! The tools to fix our broken housing delivery model to enable a fairer, more sustainable, future are at our disposal. Here’s how government can make it happen👇

📢 Our new white paper #OurSharedFuture sets out an ambitious yet achievable roadmap for tackling England's housing crisis.
It details the practical measures that are so urgently needed to deliver sustainable, affordable & net zero communities.

Building new settlements provides an opportunity to create healthy, climate resilient places that are fair for everyone. Making this a reality means government must learn vital lessons from the past. Our latest blog sets out lessons from the #NewTowns 🌱👉 https://t.co/eehPcoPelM

🎂It's our birthday!
🗓️On 10 June 1899 the #GardenCityAssociation held its first meeting.

Super geeky post alert 🚨

I was just walking down a corridor in the House of Lords looking at the books & what did I see…? My book co-written with the wonderful @Katy_Lock & @HughEllisTCPA

So cool there’s a copy of The Art of Building a Garden City in the Lords Library 🤓📚

A gem from @theTCPA archives 📸 Mary Riley cuts the ribbon on the Mobile #PlanningAid unit in 1984. Mary helped raise funds for the van, which was fitted with tech & materials & toured Britain (4K miles by 1985) supporting community-led #planning @Planaidlondon @PlanningAidEng

[Town & Country Planning Association @theTCPA]

On #InternationalWomensDay, we remember Mary Riley, who has died aged 101. Mary was a pioneer in the field of town and country planning, the first woman to be appointed a county officer in England and Wales, in 1973, and the first female chair of the TCPA. https://t.co/jsHoZLwEJS

Great to see @theTCPA @Katy_Lock talking about new towns & lessons from the past in @Lees_Martina article in Sunday Times. The extensive knowledge & research by the TCPA will be invaluable if any potential new town programme is initiated. #planningforthefuture

[Katy Lock @Katy_Lock]

Enjoyed talking with @bbcnickrobinson on @BBCr4today this morning about #NewTowns and the need for a national spatial plan to ensure sustainable locations and to rebuild public #trust in the process

Delighted to hear @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour commit to a new generation of #NewTowns - an essential part of the portfolio of solutions needed to address the housing crisis. Learning the lessons from the past is essential for success. There are many lessons, here are 6 headliners👇🧵
