In his latest book, Let's Build, James Heartfield explains why we need five million homes in the next 10 years.

Pressure for new homes could lead to the end of the division between town and country, but today restrictions on new development are geared to maintain it. Will we concrete over the countryside? Is the government serious about building four million new homes.

 

Writer and lecturer, James Heartfield is a director of the development think-tank, audacity. He lives in north London with his wife and two daughters.
