In this episode of 1.5m New Homes, we talk about the local politics of delivering new homes with Ealing Council leader, councillor Peter Mason. Describing the challenges facing London in the 1940s (air quality, long commutes, and tall buildings rising on the skyline of an increasingly crowded city) he says: "They were dealing with some of the same challenges we have now. The answer for them was new towns.”
