This Joseph Rowntree Foundation report examines the extent to which better-off families are being encouraged to live in Britain's inner cities and specifically whether they are moving to the Mixed Income New Communities (MINCs) that are becoming increasingly prevalent there. It argues that in the context of the current policy drive to revitalise cities as environments where people want to live, these MINCs - new housing developments incorporating both private and social housing - , represent an important opportunity to stem the long-standing drain of families with housing choice from inner urban areas. The study draws on four case studies of inner city MINCs, two in low-income areas in Glasgow and Manchester and two regenerated brownfield sites in London. Concludes that families with housing choice can be attracted into inner urban MINCs with the demand from locals and newcomers possibly greater than developers think.
