Can lessons from London solve our housing crisis? | Alexis Kalagas

17 Nov 2025

Description

The housing crisis is one of the most important challenges of our time. It is a complex and highly politicised issue, but it is not unique to Australia. Around the world, major cities are grappling with their own affordability crises, and some are finding ways forward. Alexis Kalagas is a strategic advisor to the dean at Monash Art, design and Architecture and a regular commentator on urban strategy and housing. Earlier this year, he visited London to research how the city is implementing progressive approaches to procurement, partnerships and engagement in social housing developments. In today’s episode, Alexis reflects on this research and considers what Australia can learn in the fight for equitable and affordable housing.
