Britain's big cities are not very dense. But why? And where should they be looking to build upwards?
The answer lies in the postwar housing (blue) built in "collars" around the big city centres. This is very low density + should be the priority for densification.
Quick thread:
British cities are missing around 2.3 million homes compared to international peers.
New research shows this “density gap” is central to housing and growth challenges.
