Examining the inter-relationship between property markets and planning and urban regeneration.
Key issues
Our research on urban regeneration looks at:
- the effectiveness and sustainability of urban regeneration in the UK, Europe and other international contexts.
- housing supply
- housing affordability
- social cohesion and sociological enquiry of the representation of space
- questions of identity and the engagement of different groups in space
- the impacts of housing growth and demand on communities and house building industry practice
