An interactive panel discussion examining how housing providers can work effectively with the private sector to deliver sustainable growth plus that all important infrastructure.

How do we ensure that investment in housing and related infrastructure helps create communities where people want to live? How do we create a sense of place and community? A practical review of the contribution that housing providers can make beyond bricks and mortar.

Delivering quality design plus reducing the environmental impact of new development is the challenge all providers face. Are they compatible – are eco towns the solution, is higher density the answer and are architects in tune with the expectations of the customer?

A practical look at how to retain the community feel after a high-density regeneration initiative is completed.

Improving the environmental sustainability of the existing stock is a financial and organisational challenge requiring organisations to take residents with them using creative solutions. This session will examine some on the ground answers that will offer organisations a path to delivery.

Low cost homeownership options are essential. But are the current models delivering for providers and customers or are they too complex and too costly to meet demand – if so, how should they be restructured?

The Government’s development strategy is not just about building new homes. It depends just as much on making better use of existing buildings and maximising the use of brown field sites. How will housing providers ensure this aspiration becomes a reality?

Sustainability is everyone’s challenge but what does it mean in practice and how can it be delivered affordably. This session will offer practical solutions to that challenge.
