- The deaths of over 70 residents of London's Grenfell Tower, when the building's cladding went up in flames in July 2017, sent out far‐reaching shock waves. It was a stark example of the dangers of neoliberalism, with public bodies not taking proper responsibility for social housing. As Julia Park – Head of Housing Research at London architecture and urban design firm Levitt Bernstein – observes, adequate policy and standards enforcement are key to ensuring that those with lower incomes can access housing which is fit for purpose. This requires architects to come on board with politicians – as her and certain other firms are already doing.
