I’m John P. Houghton, Founding Director of the Hope Street Strategy Company and one of the UK’s “leading urban regeneration experts”.
I work with a range of public and private sector clients, including councils, Combined Authorities, and Housing Associations, to develop and deliver ambitious and holistic strategies and plans that make a lasting different to people’s lives.
In my 19 years of trading as a consultant, I have helped my clients access over £1bn in public and private investment, regenerate some of the most deprived parts of the country, and develop innovative and award-winning ideas.
I speak regularly at events and on podcasts, contribute articles and book chapters, and participate in commissions, roundtables, and policy inquiries.
As a comprehensive school kid who was born on a council estate in Kirkby and made it to Oxford, I care deeply about the mission of creating opportunity for others.
Drop me a line for a chat, whether you want to discuss a specific commission or explore an idea:
John P. Houghton
Director
