Neighbourhood change through public housing urban renewal raises many complex challenges for policymakers, communities and stakeholders.

Dr Elizabeth Taylor

This project will analyse how evaluation and learning from public housing urban renewal informs current delivery of financial returns and wider social and economic outcomes. It develops a typology of public housing urban renewal and case studies of renewal trajectories in relation to site, neighbourhood and citywide reconfiguration processes.
