The research has shown that the features homeowners value most about their home is the environment in which it is located. Factors such as neighbourhood, safety, greenery and access to amenities are cited as more important than simply building attractive buildings. These must be created by focussing on the relationship between individual developments and the wider area or in other words 'placemaking'.
