 ils: http://architecturemps.com/liverpool-2016/ \n\nThe UK has a major ho
 using crisis. From the Prime Minster to local residents people understand 
 it can be catastrophic.  Unaffordable housing can be financially cripplin
 g. It leaves young people with a lifetime debt and disengages communities.
  Poorer couples raise families in cramped conditions while others speculat
 e and gentrify. In the worst cases it pushes the vulnerable on to the stre
 ets.\n\nRecently the Prime Minister chastised house builders for not doing
  enough to increase supply. The house builders claim government imposes to
 o much red tape. Architects grumble their affordable designs are not ‘pr
 ofitable’ enough for contractors and not liked enough by residents. Resi
 dents can be sceptical of Housing Associations being pushed to operate in 
 a private market. Communities increasingly complain about councils forced 
 to develop land for profit across their cities. Academics analyse and comm
 ent on what many see as intractable problems.\n\nAll these actors have som
 ething to say\, something to offer and something at stake. Some of them ta
 lk to each other. Many do not\, and never have. Practically none of them c
 ollaborate consistently.\n\nThis one off cross sector debate\, and the con
 ference it is aligned with\, is a deliberate attempt to provoke dialogue a
 cross disciplines and sets of interests. It brings together architects\, p
 olicy advisors\, local government officials\, housing associations\, acade
 mics\, regional business leaders and activists. It is an attempt to instig
 ate collaborative approaches.\n\nThis debate is held in the Winter Garden 
 Space at the RIBA North Building and the Open Eye Gallery\, 19 Mann Island
 \, Liverpool\, L3 1BP. It accompanies a two-day academic conference held a
 t Liverpool John Moores University.\n\nConference:\n\nGovernment and Housi
