Current Planning Research at the University of Manchester
The department of Planning employs around 13 full-time members of academic staff plus research staff and visiting or honorary researchers. Core research themes include Spatial Planning and Territorial Governance, Urban Development Design and Technology Networks, Environmental Planning and Management, and International Planning and Global Urban Research.
The Centre for Urban Policy Studies (CUPS) provides analytically robust, policy informing research and focuses on the evaluation of area-based urban policy initiatives, analysis of neighbourhood dynamics and territorial spatial planning. Current projects include:
The development of a Housing and Neighbourhood Monitor
Commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, CUPS and its project partners are carrying out research with the goal of developing UK-wide data on themes such as housing supply, affordability, new build rates, educational attainment and economic activity.
Resilient Design for Counter Terrorism (RE-DESIGN)
The project aims to create a decision-support framework for a wide range of stakeholders in the fields of planning, design, construction and management of public places. It will examine the impact of surveillance and territorial control measures in reducing the perceived risk of terrorist attacks and develop the concept of resilience forums at all government tiers.
Two Knowledge Transfer Partnerships are being undertaken through the University of Manchester's Knowledge Transfer Account Initiative. One is with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies while the other is related to a Secondment with Greater Manchester Police to research issues of design and crime.
