520			_aAlthough current UK housing policy favours high-density, mixed-use development on previously-developed urban land and promotes an urban renaissance, largely because of its claimed advantages of sustainability, sustainability impacts have been little tested in practice. Outlines the development of a theory of social equality in relation to urban form and provides empirical research based on this to test the case of the so-called compact city, that is high-density, mixed-use urban form. Examines the research, which involved a comparative investigation of a range of alleged social equality impacts in 25 medium-sized English cities of varying levels and types of compactness. Finds that, in certain respects and with certain qualifications, the compact city has the potential to promote social equality. Tables covering indicators and impacts, towns and cities covered and compactness/social equity relationships. References. [Taken from journal abstract].
