Rob and Alex look at the future of UK house building. How the government might loosen up the planning system, release capital in an era of high interest rates, and keep up the supply of high quality labour. And the cultural changes we will need to embed if we want the 2020s to be another great era of house building productivity growth like the 1930s.
