Can Law Solve the Housing Crisis? The Past, Present and Future of Compulsory Purchase Orders

The issue of housing has never been more politicised in Britain than it is today. Policy-makers, journalists, academics and government officials openly speak about the ongoing 'Housing Crisis' - while the aspiration of home ownership for the 'millennial' generation seems increasingly out of reach.

The City Law School in collaboration with Planning Futures are delighted to present Can Law Solve the Housing Crisis, which event examines the role of the law in facilitating a more forward-thinking housing policy, with an expert panel exploring the potential for compulsory purchase orders within a progressive house-building policy.

Organisers: Dr Luke McDonagh (City Law School) & Cian Bryan (Planning Futures)

Speakers:

• Simon Ricketts (Partner at King and Wood Mallesons)
• Greg Dickson (Assistant Director, Turley)
• Mike Kiely (Chair of the Planning Officers Society)

The seminar will be followed with a wine reception
