Technology and new media have transformed how people view development and democracy.
As the government announces new plans to remove blockages on growth @MTJProf argues the state must use new tools to deliver on building homes and infrastructure.

4 years on, Who Owns Norfolk has mapped 70% of West Norfolk and is concluding its landownership research. In this old fashioned part of England, just 0.2% of the population (including several Italian counts) owns 50% of the land. Read on for more: whoownsnorfolk.org/post/who-…

I'm writing a lecture and will be using this ad from 1979. I still think that it is one of the best things British Rail produced, from an era when there was growing concern over unconstrained car use and a desire to find alternatives.
As I said before, it goes for the jugular.
ALT An advert from British Rail. We see the headline "There is an alternative to commuting by rail. But could we live with it?" We see the houses of parliament in the centre, with the Elizabeth Tower (housing Big Ben) in the centre. Around it snake motorways, full of motor vehicles. It is gridlock over London. There is text, saying that every day 400,000 people commute in and out of London by BR, and putting them all on the road would increase traffic and lead to major road building. It continues "Looking at it that way, it makes a lot of sense to invest in our way". It then says "British Rail, the backbone of the nation".

The Tories have left housing supply in free fall and turning things around is going to be immensely challenging.
I'd like to thank @Barker4Kate for sharing her Commission's initial recommendations about how we can address England's housing crisis.

Encouraging news. Suggests Labour recognise the urgency of progress on getting things built, and the need for experience and expertise to deliver on this.
This is potentially a good move. Any proposals to smooth the pathway for new housing must have state housing as part of the mix, and commit to delivering net zero solutions as part of a wider understanding of planning’s place shaping role theguardian.com/politics/art…
