Scrutinising Affordability and Social Sustainability in BristolA general perception is that highly priced homes are embedded in areas that are associated with cohesive and convivial communities. However, recent research suggests that successful neighbourhoods are those that foster social interactions towards creating sustainable communities.
This talk will examine the extent to which this hypothesis applies to Bristolian neighbourhoods to ascertain whether property prices accurately reflect quantifiable attributes associated with sustainable communities.
