Home Comforts. How the design of our homes and neighbourhoods effected our experience of the Covid-19 lockdown and what we can learn for the future. A report by the Place Alliance, Urban Design London, Good Homes Alliance, Urban Design Group and Civic Voice.
Matthew Carmona, Professor of Planning and Urban Design at The Bartlett School of Planning, UCL, outlines some of the findings from the study.
“This report summarises findings of a national survey of 2,500 households (representing 7,200 people) aimed at understanding how well or how poorly the design of our homes and their immediate neighbourhoods supported us during the period of coronavirus lockdown.
The intention was to understand what we can learn from this period of unprecedented stress on our home environments. The findings offer insights into how we should be designing or adapting them in the future in order that they are more resilient and better able to support happy and healthy lifestyles”. © Matthew Carmona.
