Resource Roundup
Housing LIN Case Study 173: Regenerating the Aylesbury - Harriet Hardy House
We're delighted to share a new Housing LIN Case Study (No. 173), updated by Payal Ceurvels, Associate at Mæ, exploring an innovative intergenerational housing project with varied accommodation types that require progressive privacy levels in shared spaces within a dense urban environment.
Read on to find out how this redevelopment of the former Aylesbury Estate in Walworth, London Borough of Southwark. integrates Harriet Hardy House, an extra care housing scheme and how the risk of overheating in circulation spaces was mitigated without resorting to double-loaded or mechanically vented corridors.
Paving a new pathway to prevention
This report from the NHS Confederation and CF analyses return on investment (ROI) at intervention level and the implications for the health and care sector, outlining how better targeting of existing money could deliver at least an extra £11 billion annual ROI.
