The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today, Friday 5 July 2024, responded to the result of yesterday’s UK General Election.
RIBA President Muyiwa Oki said:
“This is a monumental moment for the UK – and an opportunity for Labour to prove it will deliver on the changes it has committed to.
Its manifesto doesn’t have all the answers, but it shows ambition – not least to tackle the housing crisis by boosting the delivery of high-quality homes and fixing our broken planning system.
The time for bold, decisive action to deliver a safer, greener and more equitable built environment is now.
We look forward to working together over the coming years – bringing architects’ expertise to the table to solve the complex challenges our country faces.”
