The green movement

Article Abstract:

House purchasers in the UK are placing increasing emphasis on outside space. For this reason, there is strong demand for properties with access to large communal gardens. Many people now enjoy gardening, and they are also seeking space in which their children can play. At Charles Church's Wethered Park development in Marlow, England, for example, there is three acres of grassland, while at Lockes Wharf in the Docklands area of London, England, around a quarter of the development will be open space.

This is the house that sweat built

Article Abstract:

Many housing associations in the UK are now establishing shared-equity self-building schemes. Such schemes permit people who are unemployed or have a low income to play an active role in the construction of their own home. Those involved do not require building skills, but must be prepared to work very hard. After completion, they will own a proportion of the property, paying rent on the rest. A number of community groups have also established schemes of this kind.

It's grand up North

Article Abstract:

Urban regeneration has become a significant feature in many northern cities in the UK such as Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds. In many cases, former run-down industrial areas and derelict warehouses have been redeveloped. There are now 5,000 people living in the centre of Manchester, from only 400 in 1993, and there have also been several residential schemes in the centre of Leeds. In Newcastle, the Quayside area south of the river is now fully redeveloped.
