In a recent announcement, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has unveiled plans to address the housing crisis by building hundreds of thousands of new homes on "brownfield" land, specifically targeting England's biggest cities. This move comes in response to widespread anger among young people struggling to find affordable housing. Michael Gove, a key figure in the government, acknowledged the need for greater ambition in these housing efforts, emphasizing the government's commitment to increasing housebuilding on previously used land. The initiative is seen as a crucial step towards helping young people get onto the housing ladder, with the Conservatives admitting there is much more work to be done in this area.
