Edinburgh unveils £2.5bn housing investment plan

City of Edinburgh Council has announced plans for a £2.5bn investment in council housing over the next ten years.

The council last week approved plans which will help support the council’s existing commitment to build at least 20,000 social and affordable homes by 2028, along with another 2,000 between 2028 and 2030.

The HRA business plan also assumes investment in existing homes and neighbourhoods of around £20,000 per home over the next 15 years.

The adoption of artificial intelligence in local government could be just as much about maximising available resources – essentially doing more with less – as it is about making immediate financial savings or efficiencies.
