Not Enough Space

In our final episode of the season, we explore the UK housing crisis, its causes and potential solutions for the future. 

We are currently in a cost of living crisis with renting and renters’ rights particularly precarious in the UK. The number of people sleeping rough is higher than pre-pandemic and many are experiencing homelessness for the first time. A huge part of this problem is the housing market and how it operates. 

Join us for our final episode of the season, where host and Bartlett Dean Christoph Lindner speaks to two guests to talk about the housing system and potential alternatives: 

  • Samir Jeraj, writer at the New Statesman, commissioning editor at Hyphen and co-author of the Rent Trap 
  • Saffron Woodcraft, Principal Research Fellow at the Bartlett’s Institute for Global Prosperity
