That is a line from the Resolution Foundation’s recent UK2030 report underlining that affordable, decent housing is central to creating a successful city. People increasingly want to live in cities.

Over half the British population live in cities, and cities remain drivers of the UK’s economic growth. In our cities, we oversee a microcosm of global challenges, and city leadership plays a significant role in improving the economic, social and environmental prosperity of our residents. For our country to do better, everyone in our cities must do better.
