Latest Research: Launch of Housing and Neighbourhood Monitor - Report and Website online
The Housing and Neighbourhoods Monitor, published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, analyses key housing and neighbourhood trends across the UK. Compiled by a collaborative team of researchers from Manchester University, Glasgow University and Ulster University, and co-ordinated by the Centre for Urban Policy Studies, the report suggests that the government is unlikely to meet its housing target of supplying 3 million new homes by 2020. The report is available on the JRF website.
Complementing the report, a free inter-active website has been developed by the Centre for Urban Policy Studies. It is available at www.hnm.org.uk. The website brings together a wide range of housing and neighbourhood trends for the whole of the UK for the first time. It provides detailed Google Maps and a series of charts, enabling users to examine a wide range of information for their locality. This includes themes such as housing supply, affordability, new build rates, educational attainment and economic activity.
