This event brings together voices from across the housing sector — including developers, residents, researchers, and delivery teams — to explore the benefits of low-carbon social housing.

Through open discussion and shared perspectives, we’ll examine how energy-led, data-informed design can reduce fuel poverty, improve wellbeing, and promote construction quality.

This discussion is one of a series of events as part of Collective’s 2025 campaign, Progressive Places. The aim is to create a space for wider dialogue and highlight the opportunities of low-carbon social housing in creating resilient, healthy, and affordable homes for the future.
