Task
“The UK is currently experiencing a housing crisis. In this context, in order to improve housing affordability, planning rules and regulations (e.g. greenbelts, building height restrictions, land use restrictions) should be loosened, if not eliminated altogether. Moreover, to improve the efficiency of urban economies, a broad-based deregulation of other urban land uses (retail, industrial) should also be undertaken.” Discuss.
