Briefing: Making massive small change Available to Purchase

‘The old delivery models are broken’ according to Sir Bob Kerslake of the UK Homes and Communities Agency. But are these models dead or just sleeping? Some would be inclined to blame the current recession for breaking the models. ‘It will all get better,’ they say, ‘when confidence returns.’ Others would say the models were broken long before the recession. Did society really get it right before or was it just flogging a dead horse? Like many recently failed UK high-street chains, they would say that the recession did not kill the business, it merely buried it. So is this a time to reflect and change approaches or is a paradigm shift upon us, whether welcome or not?
