#LSEdensity #urbanplanning
Planners once dreamed of cities with vast empty plazas and quiet streets. Post-pandemic, might they do so again?

Living in a denser London in the age of #Covid19
The design of our homes is impacting on our experience of the pandemic. And living close does not necessarily translate into being closer to each other as a community.

Yesterday we presented our report "Living in a denser #London: how residents see their homes". @LSECities

Overall this @LSE_London #LSEdensity report is like a useful pilot study (statistically minute) but risks being cherry-picked to justify status quo. No class analysis of course. Need is for massive independent post-occupancy evaluation of housing & longitudinal work too.
.@LorettaCLees asks a great question: What’s the role of #architecture in these dense forms?
Is it to build community?
Is it to be environmentally sustainable?
Is it for the people who live there or the people who look at it?
#LSEDensity

Architect Bob Allies @alliesmorrison responds to how architects can respond to issues of storage, overheating, and noise through better design.
#LSEDensity

What encourages community?
Design elements like shared public spaces & virtual forums for interaction, like Facebook groups
@KathJScanlon #LSEDensity

One thing we haven’t yet talked about is land value capture, points out @LorettaCLees.
What might be the downside of this, and what could it mean for the future of #London as a vertical city?
#LSEDensity


There was no correlation between whether a building was “beautiful” and if residents were satisfied. Or between absolute density and resident satisfaction.

“Physical proximity did not necessarily create a sense of community”
And only 2% of respondents listed place-based community as one of the most impt characteristics of a home
-@KathJScanlon #LSEDensity

Interesting to hear that residents’ most common complaints were about a lack of storage space, overheating, and noise. #LSEDensity

Why did people decide to move to high #density schemes?
The #1 reason was #transport, @KathJScanlon explains, followed by price.
#LSEDensity

Transport links tops as a reason to move to a high density scheme, followed by price and neighbourhood characters. #LSEDensity #socialvalue #Socialimpact #cities #urbanplanning
Who lives in this #housing?
- Predominantly young 1-2 person households with no children
- 60% UK citizens
- Spectrum of income
#LSEDensity

The research covered 14 housing schemes, distributed throughout #London, as depicted on this map.
They all have at least 100 dwellings per hectare.
#LSEDensity

.@KathJScanlon introduces the #LSEdensity project with some simple research questions:
Who lives in high density housing?
What is day to day life like?
Is there a sense of community?

“Do residents love or hate these typologies?”
This is a good moment to take stock of the high-density #housing , says @BURDETTR. The GLA is interested in whether these schemes work to inform future policy. #LSEDensity
