I had a nasty cold when I did this panel debate with @reviewCSC a few weeks back!
But if you can get past the nose-blowing I thought the level of discussion was really high.
And always a pleasure to point people to @pawdatjoa's research in this area.

We’re building under half of the new homes we need, while millions live in unsuitable accommodation.
What if involving communities in planning could succeed where decades of top-down reforms have failed?

Tired: Large housing developments that cause local opposition.
Wired: Street level projects and densification designed by the community.

"A community-powered approach to planning and housing means the creation of a system that gives people a right to positively influence the place where they live. Ultimately, it creates a route for more, and better, housing to be built." @pawdatjoa newlocal.org.uk/articles/pri…

.@wearenewlocal argues councils and communities need more powers and financial freedoms to drive new development and resolve the #housing crisis - bit.ly/3kG5Tm8
Thank you @tom_chance for your insights and really helpful conversations during our research!
This is a really interesting piece of work.
Building on proposals from @createstreets, HTA architects, @Policy_Exchange, and pioneering examples from @CommLandTrusts and other @CommLedHousing groups.
Plotting the detail of how planning could really embed community power.

Local people always oppose new housebuilding - right? Wrong.
Our new report explores why we’re a nation of YIMBYs at heart and how giving people a proper say over housing can defeat NIMBYs everywhere.

Bringing communities together to decide what housing should be built, not just what housing shouldn’t be built.
Using the ideas of Elinor Ostrom and the potential of community power to deliver the houses the country needs.

THREAD: Let's talk about... Elinor Ostrom!
A researcher who showed how communities solve real problems, "beyond markets and states".
The intellectual inspiration for our work on community power.

Last year, in this @wearenewlocal report, @pawdatjoa & made the case for a localised approach, like the one @CommonsWorkPen has called for today, & set out how we can move from DWP command & control to community power. Let's hope it's starting to happen. newlocal.org.uk/publications…
