Tracking page for How can people create the homes that their communities need, where the market and developers are failing?
We are tracking developments from the year-long alternative manifesto process (AMPlify West Yorkshire) that we hosted in 2020-21.
This page tracks How can people create the homes that their communities need, where the market and developers are failing? by Claude Hendrickson Steve Hoey.
It records what happens in West Yorkshire relevant to this idea, and to the same idea in other places, in order to compare and contrast with our region.
