Research description
This two-year project demonstrated that high-quality, sustainable housing is achievable in disadvantaged communities. 20 exemplary developments were identified and studied via site audits and interviews, leading to ten routes to success across planning, design, engagement, funding and regulatory domains. The findings were widely shared through a guide, online case studies, a research summary, and a series of events. Further outreach included blogs, articles and a methodologically focussed academic paper. The project offers a range of practical models for delivering high quality housing development in areas of inequality.
