Housing and Environment
Our interdisciplinary research promotes better housing, better neighbourhoods and better lives.
Our impact-driven research and research-led teaching are centred on reducing inequalities linked to housing markets, socially and environmentally degraded built environments, enabling regenerative housing policy and practice that creates fairer, healthier and more sustainable homes in the UK, Europe and beyond.
Our working relationships extend across central and local government, the charitable and voluntary sector and a network of academic and policy research collaborations in the UK, Europe and beyond.
Our housing researchers work in an interdisciplinary group called the Centre for Housing Policy.
