This major study of potential for sustainable urban housing was commissioned by the Department for Environment, Transport and the Regions, and the Government Office for London. The final report was published in January 1998. Tim Pharoah provided specialist input on the subject of car free housing and shared car solutions.
The study provided an analysis of the potential of different housing typologies and layouts, and in particular, densities. The purpose of the project was to examine 'to what extent and how might London accommodate additional dwellings while maintaining urban quality and fostering sustainable development'. Three sources of new housing are examined in particular: housing on small gap and infill sites of up to 1 ha; the conversion of houses into flats; and housing in backland areas within existing residential areas.
The results and methods advocated in the study influenced the subsequent London Plan
A summary document leaflet and a scan of the final main report are available to the right.
