The Adam Smith Institute are hosting a series of panel discussions and debates at the Conservative Party Conference 2019 that are free to attend for any Conservative Party Conference attendees. To find out more, email events@adamsmith.org

We need more houses and we needed them yesterday. Tinkering with demand won't work to solve the issue – no matter how hard politicians try. Instead, innovative supply-side reforms are needed. At this panel, we will discuss the importance of planning liberalisation, new approaches to house building, much-needed tax reform, and how to counter the NIMBY mentality in a broad discussion to revitalise the debate and reaffirm the need to fix the housing crisis.

Speakers:

Matthew Kilcoyne, Deputy Director, ASI (chair)
John Myers, Co-Founder, London YIMBY
Marc Vlessing, CEO, Pocket Living
Andrew Carter, CEO, Centre for Cities
Sam Bowman, Senior Fellow, ASI

It's sure to be an interesting discussion, and we hope you'll be around to see it. We're hosting it inside the Secure Zone (so you'll need a conference pass) in the Chester Suite of the Midland Hotel. All of our other events will also be in the Chester Suite!

The event's free to attend, no need to RSVP, just turn up at 6:00pm.
