| Annotation | In January 2005, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) unveiled its Five-Year Plan for neighbourhood revitalisation, including the development of sustainable mixes of tenures and incomes in local communities. These findings outline research that attempted to understand the processes that lead to segregation. The research was carried out by Geoffrey Moon and Thomas McGrath (University of Reading), Kenneth Gibb and Jane MacKinnon (University of Glasgow), and Jennifer Goody (Peter Brown Partnership). The empirical modelling parts of their project used data from the Census 2001, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and national accounts. Their detailed analysis of patterns of segregation explains why it has been difficult to achieve a sustainable mix of tenure and incomes. It identifies both the underlying patterns of deprivation, and why people choose to move to particular areas. These need to be taken into account if the key policy objective of mixed communities is to be delivered. (RH). |
