Is housing its own infrastructure asset class?
Research conducted for last year’s Perspectives on infrastructure report led us to believe that housing is increasingly treated as its own asset class. That’s an important distinction – treating housing as its own infrastructure asset class changes your perspective on how and why it needs to be delivered.
We tasked Maria Shahid, a real estate journalist with 20 years’ experience, to discuss with eight business leaders from the housing and infrastructure sectors the idea that housing is an asset, which is key to unlocking the delivery of infrastructure.
We have also canvassed public opinion via a YouGov survey and the housing industry’s opinions via our own survey. The surveys show how people feel about the delivery of housing and gives an indication of what would influence communities to support new build projects.
