Community benefits of mixed housing types and tenures
Communities with varied housing sizes, types, and tenures better support services, facilities, and diverse age groups, increasing social interaction and neighbourhood safety.
Communities that have a good mix of homes of different sizes, types and tenures have more potential to support a variety of services and facilities, including shops, schools and local community services. They are also likely to be home to people of all ages, which can mean that streets are 'alive' at all times of the day, increasing the potential for social interaction, community cohesion and neighbourhood safety.
