Alain Bertaud Travels to Great Britain
Senior Fellow Alain Bertaud traveled to Great Britain, where he gave interviews at:
- Onward: “How to Fix Britain’s Housing Crisis”
- Pembroke College, University of Cambridge
- Labour YIMBY
- Adam Smith Institute
In addition, he wrote “How to Build a City” in the Centre for Policy Studies’ CapX, where he notes:
The location of jobs is decided by the market. In order to respond as efficiently as possible to maintain this spontaneous order, the location of housing should be too. Urban planning has a place but it’s in responding to what infrastructure people say they need—not breaking ground where planners think housing ‘should’ be built. In short, planners should respond to the labour market, and not try to shape it themselves.
