I chatted to the brilliant Alex Notay, who succeeded Dame Kate Barker as Chair of the Radix Big Tent Housing Commission and was previously Placemaking and Investment Director at Thriving Investments (formerly PfP Capital). There, she facilitated a £390m joint venture with the Housing Growth Partnership and the acquisition of the award-winning sustainable developer Igloo Regeneration, where she also served as a board member.

Alex is one of the most knowledgeable, practical people I know in housing, so it was a great joy to record this - we talked: 

• The Reality of Housing Targets - what’s needed to achieve them? 
• Why it makes sense to treat housing as infrastructure
• The challenge of communicating complicated ideas simply
• The significance of language around housing… Our self-built barrier to entry to the industry, where we talk about #housing when referring to social housing, #residential for private investment, #living for institutional investment, #property for individuals, #realestate for the American market #builtenvironment in relation to planning and development, and so on.
