Major challenges exist in both the global north and south around the provision of decent, affordable homes and the mobility of people.

Research within the Bartlett School of Planning explores questions of housing design, development and planning alongside sociological enquiry of the representation of space, questions of identity and the engagement of different groups in space. In particular, research engages with issues of housing supply, affordability, mix and social cohesion. Impacts of the quantity, quality and context of housing growth and demand on communities and house building industry practice are ongoing, highly policy-relevant concerns.
