This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
What does evidence from other countries tell us about technical building safety issues, e.g. the key points of failure resulting in fire spread and/or risk of structural collapse in high rise residential buildings?
Key areas here are developing our understanding of the drivers of behaviour across the industry, and the benefits and potential risks that technological change may bring.
