The Climate Crises, the post-Covid world, geopolitics and the cost of living crises have combined to force re-evaluation of our homes and what we want from them. Our homes now need to preform to higher standards and with increasingly diverse performance criteria. This is being felt in development dynamics with the rise in awareness of, and commitment to, ESG objectives at all levels if the housing sector ecosystem, but especially in financial and consumer markets and the changing compliance landscape.

We hear from Waltham Forest's development business Sixty Bricks, UKAA, PRP Architects and Future Homes Hub on balancing the diverse demands on the way we design homes for the future.
