Richard Hyde

Richard Hyde, founder of Thinkhouse.org and chair of Solihull Community Housing, discusses the UK's pressing housing crisis. He highlights the stark contrast between social housing and so-called 'affordable homes.' Hyde emphasizes the urgent need for more social housing, as only 10,000 units are built annually versus the required 90,000. The conversation explores innovative approaches like modular construction and successful models from Finland, aiming to inspire solutions that tackle the housing shortage and support the millions waiting for homes.
