‘This is a monumental moment’: responds to General Election result

Read our response to the result of the 2024 UK General Election.

05 July 2024

The Royal Institute of British Architects () has today, Friday 5 July 2024, responded to the result of yesterday’s UK General Election.

President Muyiwa Oki :

“This is a monumental moment for the UK – and an opportunity for Labour to prove it will deliver on the changes it has committed to.

Its manifesto doesn’t have all the answers, but it shows ambition – not least to tackle the housing crisis by boosting the delivery of high-quality homes and fixing our broken planning system.

The time for bold, decisive action to deliver a safer, greener and more equitable built environment is now.

We look forward to working together over the coming years – bringing architects’ expertise to the table to solve the complex challenges our country faces.”
