West Hendon Regeneration Scheme

The area of Strafford has adapted to a brand new identity of ‘ ‘ rather than the ‘sticky Strafford’ which it was one referred to as. As £3.7 billion has gone towards the regeneration project in changing the area; psychically, socially and economically. The regeneration programme has replaced the poor-quality housing to new modern and stylish houses, which is owned by many of the locals in the area as the Olympic village converted

• Windmill to work with local council to develop a plan for regeneration for the area.

For most tenants they have been replaced by Housing Benefit. The sale of Dundee’s council housing to tenants and mass transfers of stock to Registered Social Landlords, have reduced the numbers to approx 14,000 current stock. As the role of council housing has diminished, Housing Associations have been encouraged to take over the limited opportunities for development.

In order to understand fully the regeneration of the Stratford area, it is imperative that there is some prior knowledge of how the area has developed over time. As London is the capital of England it has always been at the forefront of development, but other different areas of London have progressed at different speeds, meaning that some areas have been left waiting for regeneration whilst others have already developed. Regeneration is defined as the revitalisation of a place or community. Regeneration is both a process and an outcome . In the 1920s there were many large slums including Old Nichol, situated in Shoreditch. The conditions in the slums were well documented by Irene Barclay, who was a chartered surveyor and wanted to address social need and her actions were well appreciated by

Southport is an old city that has undergone many demographic changes while retaining the charm of an earlier time. It is a blend of old families whose ancestors settled in Southport or Brunswick County before the Civil War, emigrants that arrived at varying times after the Civil War, and new residents that chose Southport as a retirement location or found employment opportunities in the area.

This contrasts significantly to the type of housing in the Isle of Purbeck where 73.7% is owner occupied. Further, in the last decade house prices have risen above the national average due to competition from second homeowners, retirees and in migrants. For example, property at Sandbanks is the 4th most expensive in the world. The situation is made worse by the fact that employment opportunities in the area are limited. Only 7.7% is council housing – in recent times only 2 small Housing Association developments in Corfe Castle have been planned to deal with this. Therefore, this has a key effect on social welfare. It results in a richer population, with high demand for private healthcare and ‘farm/organic’ shops. In contrast, Byker is likely to have very few high-end shops as a result of income being low – resulting in a reliance on state services, and the creation of what Edwina Curry saw as “food deserts”; meaning very little healthy food options due to the dominance of cheap, fast food outlets. In turn, this is likely to increase obesity and lower life expectancy – reducing social welfare further. In contrast, ‘organic/farm’ shops in the Isle of Purbeck are likely to have the opposite effect – raising life expectancy.

The stocking quantity and expected profits are higher in the second scenario because of the extra time spent to improve the quality of profile section. By spending the extra time to improve the profile section, Anna Sheen increased the overall quality of her newspaper, which will, most likely, lead to an increased probability of demand for her newspaper around the area. This increased demand will raise Anna Sheen’s stocking quantity and the daily expected profits that are associated with that individual stocking quantity.

This Neighbourhood Study aims to examine the demographics of Hillingdon Primary Care Trust (HPCT) such as age, gender, ethnicity, social groups in relation to the prevention of obesity. An insight into the prevalence of obesity as well as the causes and its effects shall be evaluated. Public health strategies regarding the prevention of obesity and its effects in comparison to Government strategies shall be addressed. The nurse’s role as an educator in relation to this public health issue, strategies formulated by HPCT to prevent obesity and how it focuses on other diseases associated with obesity shall be discussed. The following section gives a definition of obesity, health education and health prevention.

A place to call home, a concept that much of society aspires to. A home is a sanctuary, a place to raise a family; home after all, is where the heart belongs. However, does the notion that a house is make a house any less of a home than a house that is owner occupied? Housing policy during the latter part of the 20th century began to shift towards owner occupation. One policy in particular completely changed the face of housing, it brought about the biggest shake up in housing history. The Conservative Government’s ‘Right to Buy’ scheme or ‘Council House Privatisation’ as written in (Baldock, Mitton, Manning & Vickerstaff, 2012), formed part of the Housing Act 1980, the then secretary of state for the environment, Michael Heseltine, stated "This bill lays the foundations for one of the most important social revolutions of this century” (Jones, 2011). Therefore, this essay will answer the question can the “Right to Buy” policy as introduced

However there are still different attitudes to redevelopment, some claim that the scheme was completed with "tremendous optimism” and it’s believed, "The area's beginning to look up, but you do get people saying we will never get out of this rot, that the area's too run down." And physically,

This research report compiles studies from various disciplines regarding culture, social and economic concerns, the built environment, and the impact of urbanization in a growing city: London, England. The purpose of this report is to express the positive outcome that can occur when ethically redeveloping “urban brownfields” or derelict real estate by taking public policy, risk assessment, funding, historical knowledge, and cultural sensitivity into account over the course of the project. With the recent credit crunch due to loan defaults, the property market has suffered severely in its ability to provide affordable housing. International investors have invaded the property development scene in London to take advantage of available land and are causing forceful demographic changes by attracting buyers with more spending ability than local Londoners. This in turn will cause friction in the relationship that London’s society has with its built environment. Throughout this report, I will explain how culture is effected when society’s relationship with its surrounding environment changes and how ethical urban regeneration can stay true to the culture, whilst having a beneficial impact on social welfare. In order to have this effect, project managers must assess finance methods for development, current demographics, urban heritage, contamination levels, externalities, and cultural ecology

When choosing a type of procurement it is based on the clients experienced and knowledge of construction that the client has and there requirements.
