Reflections on fifty years of social housing past and future
As part of SNG’s 50th anniversary celebrations, we have reached out to friends across the sector to ask their perspectives on the state of social housing today, what we can learn from in our past and what we can hope to see in our future.
This collection of essays reflects a wide range of views and different contributors have chosen to focus on a range of themes.
