## Resource

Chief Executive Andrew Carter is joined by Analyst Maurice Lange to talk about the urban density gap following the publication of our recent report ‘Flat Britain: The urban density gap and how to close it'. They discuss the housing shortage in the UK, the importance of cities in tackling that shortage and they look to other cities in the world that are achieving the kind of density we need in their big cities.
