The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has released this year’s Harris Debate, exploring the theme “Ethical surveying during a housing crisis.”

Chaired by Lord Bichard KCB, the debate features insights from Dr Wei Yang OBE, Fiona Fletcher-Smith, Joey Aoun, Mairead Carroll, and Tom Stannard — all discussing how the surveying profession can balance commercial priorities with the wider public interest amid the UK’s housing challenges.
The event examines key issues such as sustainability, affordability, and the professional ethics shaping housing delivery today.

For anyone interested in the future of surveying and the built environment, the full debate is available to watch on the RICS YouTube channel.
