Would You Live Here? Making the Growth Areas communities of choice

Article

This book aims to promote a better understanding of who will live in the Growth Areas, what their aspirations and needs will be, and how we can meet them.

There may now be a consensus on the case for greater housing supply, but the policy prescription necessary to deliver that supply in a way that is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable is highly contested.

Seeking to provide a basis for forming an appropriate policy response to this challenge, this book asks who will live in the Growth Areas, what their aspirations and needs will be, and how we can meet them.
