22025_The Future of UK Housing Supply_v2

I N T ROD U C T I ON The way we live is changing. The pandemic has made people think about the way we work, live and play. The accepted ‘norms’ have been challenged, and for some, permanent changes have been made. For many, changes have not been possible. Working patterns, affordability, infrastructure, and our homes, are lacking the flexibility to accommodate change in a post pandemic world.

As a result of record inflation, households are experiencing a cost of living crisis, which is affecting how they live and interact with their cities. As we continue to deliver housing, and adapt our existing homes, it is important to consider how the future of our cities will evolve. The purpose of this paper is to give a high-level overview of how UK cities might evolve and how this will shape our homes in the city of 2040.
