My research project
Why can't I play in their garden? Are mixed tenure communities justified in terms of their spatial layout, provision of situational crime prevention and social outcomes?My study will examine how housing tenures are spatially mixed within a mixed tenure community's physical building(s) and the surrounding physical environment. The study outlines the shift by UK government towards social mix-based policy initiatives and the reasons why MTCs are built in the UK.
It will provide a summary of the themes within the existing literature, and gaps in knowledge referring to the role of design, management and security-led crime prevention initiatives that are included in MTCs in the UK. I argue this study is important because the experiences of residents who live in MTCs in the UK, how MTCs exist in practice in the UK, including variations in design, layout, and provision of design, management and security-led crime prevention initiatives, are not well understood. The research problem is further established that there is weak literature evidencing decisions that MTCs can overcome the failures and negative outcomes, including crime, found in social housing estates.
Core aim the research study:
How do residents who live in mixed tenure communities experience design, management, and security-led crime prevention initiatives?
The study aims to explore the experiences of residents who live in mixed tenure communities and the role of design, management, and security-led crime prevention initiatives in the facilitation of interactions between different tenure groups.

Publications
Guest editorial piece outlining the hidden messages which mixed tenure communities provide, indicating the lived experiences of residents is far from an inclusive, equal and integrated. Social interactions between tenure groups can be minimal and prevented by way of the very design of these communities, intended to create greater a social mix in new neighbourhoods.
