How the design of our homes and neighbourhoods affected our experience of the Covid-19 lockdown and what we can learn for the future

The Good Homes Alliance worked alongside Place Alliance, Urban Design London, Urban Design Group, TCPA, Civic Voice and UCL on this study which investigates how the design of our homes and neighbourhoods effected our experience of the Covid-19 lockdown, and what lessons can be learned for the future. The 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.
