Abstract

Encompasses in-depth work across 10 different estate and area-based transformation programmes, resulting from the Mixed Communities Initiative (MCI), a comprehensive approach to tackling area disadvantage, bringing together housing and neighbourhood renewal strategies to reduce concentrations of deprivation, stimulate economic development and improve public services. The study explores how existing programmes were potentially delivering more mixed communities, with a view to highlighting transferable lessons and highlighting any policy issues.
