Issue 1: Housing

• Population in the UK has increased by 10.5 per cent since 1971. We could have population of 65 million by 2025

• The number of households has risen by 30 per cent since 1971. Most of this increase is because more people live alone – 7 million (12% in 2009)

• New single person households account for 70% of the increased demand for housing – why? Due to people leaving home, marrying later, getting divorce and living longer

• The government target is to build 240,000 new houses every year by 2016, with 60% being built on a brownfield site. But with a shortage of land greenfield sites will also be used.

Inner city issuesGovernments have had a variety of strategies to improve living in inner cities since 1945 – most famously building cheap flats in the 1960’s and 1970’s as quick fixes – What does this mean?

Recent strategies now try to involve private funding and the local community.

Strategy 1. Urban Development Corporations (UDCs)

• Major strategy introduced in the 1980’s with the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC)

• 11 more UDC’s were developed around the UK. These were large scale projects where major changes occurred with the help of both public and private funding.

• LDDC finished in 1998. In total £1.86 billion of public money was invested and £7.7 billion from the private sector.

Strategy 2: City Challenge Hulme, Manchester

Strategy 3: Sustainable communities
