Urban life in 20 years time

Urban life in 20 years time - 2004 - Regeneration and Renewal 15 October 2004, 11 (1) .

"Riding the rapids: urban life in an age of complexity" has been published by Building Futures. It attempts to predict what the housing situation in Britain will be like in 20 years time. It suggests that the focus of regeneration will in the future switch from inner-city areas to the suburbs. This will be due to the mass of suburban building over the last 60 years coming to the end of its life and needing regeneration. The report also suggests a need for more than five million extra homes to cope with the rise of single person households as marriage declines. The report is available from: http://www.buildingfutures.org.uk/frameset.htm.
