The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) on Thursday 23 May 2024, responded to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s announcement that a General Election will be held on 4 July 2024.
RIBA President Muyiwa Oki said: ‘This is a pivotal moment for our country as we move into a General Election. As our manifesto makes clear, we urgently need decisive action to deliver a built environment that meets people’s needs, both now and in the future. Policies that usher in the next generation of social housing and establish a National Retrofit Strategy must be at the heart of this election campaign and delivered by the next Government. The clock is ticking – the time to act is now. All political parties must set out bold and comprehensive plans to deliver a sustainable built environment, using architects’ expertise, that strengthen communities and enrich people’s lives.’
