Description

Student housing in (a time of) crisis: interrogating student housing supply. In the context of a housing crisis and new university funding policies, this project aims to critically analyse the current and future delivery of purpose-built student housing. By mapping funding, development and management activity at a national level and undertaking case studies, the project aims to generate theoretical and applied knowledge about the objectives of university and private providers, as well as the opportunities and challenges for future supply. Anticipated outcomes include an understanding of how the emergent policy context will shape student housing delivery and trace the potential for new models. This will bring benefits to housing and education policy via recommendations about student housing delivery and governance.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4406 - Human Geography.
