More new homes are needed in the UK, and the government's Sustainable Communities Plan identifies areas of run down older housing for regeneration. But is mass clearance the most sustainable way to create lasting communties for the future? This Information Paper outlines the conclusions of research by the College of Estate Management, sponsored by BRE Trust, into the relative advantages of the two approaches to housing renewal - demolition and renewal, or refurbishment - "knock it down or do it up". A full report of the research is available as BRE Trust report FB16. 8 pages.
