Coastal cities across New York are facing major sea-level rising – New York City sea levels could rise by more than a foot in the next 10 years. But our communities are already feeling the effects of climate chaos. Increasing storms, fewer snow days, and unbreathable air are not part of some dystopian future – they’re happening right now. On top of a statewide housing crisis and our state government's failure to shelter migrant newcomers, we must take action now – and we have the solutions that will transform New York’s future. Join us tomorrow, February 29th at 4:30 PM ET for the People’s Briefing on #LivableNY, a bill that will take on the housing and climate crises while creating good union jobs for all New Yorkers, no matter their immigration status or conviction record. RSVP to learn more about this landmark bill and how we’re going to transform our state together. https://lnkd.in/drdMD5sD

There’ve been two important – and contrasting – pieces of news which caught my eye over the past fortnight. It’s undoubtedly an exciting time in the North West, with a new ‘level four’ devo deal for Merseyside announced on the back of the area’s new Investment Zone, which is seeing money allocated to support life sciences. The growth of one of the UK’s most successful industries around one of our most iconic cities is cause for celebration – and new #devolution powers will help the North West to cement itself as a growing hub for innovation, while also giving local people and their leaders a greater say over the future of their region. At the same time, we know that growth can’t be sustained without access to good quality affordable housing. With average rents reported to have risen by as much as 39 per cent in towns such as Bolton and Wigan, there’s a real need to ramp up housing delivery close to expanding cities like Manchester and Liverpool. We need a stronger supply of new homes and supporting infrastructure if we’re to retain and attract the talent needed to power these growing industries. It’s clear we need to think holistically about regional growth – there are reasons for optimism, some causes for concern, but obvious opportunities for sustainable urban expansion across our growing towns and cities. Harworth is helping meet the demand for fit-for-purpose housing and social infrastructure. Working with local government across the North West and beyond, there are opportunities to do even more together in the years ahead.
