Projecting rates or urbanisation England, 1991-2016: method, policy applications and results
Article Abstract:
The containment of urbanisation in England has long been of interest and concern to planners and policy makers, but the factual basis about the rate of urban growth relies on studies that concentrate mainly on the loss of agricultural land to urban development or local case studies. Studies need to concentrate solely on the issue of urban growth allowing comparisons to be made betwee different parts of the country, and a new pilot study proposes a method of projecting rates of urban growth amongs south east England counties. The method calculates the link between household growth and urban land use.

Home occupancy and rural housing problems in England
Article Abstract:
A study has found that the lack of housing for lower income groups in rural areas in the UK is due to insufficient funding, rather than the movement of middle class families into the countryside. In rural areas owner occupation is the most popular form of occupancy, with many landlords deciding to sell their property to the occupants. In rural areas there tends to be less provision of social housing than in non-rural areas. It had previously been suggested that the lack of housing in rural wards was due to the middle-classes migrating into the countryside from the cities.

Environmental sustainability and rural settlement growth in Ireland
Article Abstract:
Modern rural settlement growth in Ireland is evaluated on the basis of environmental sustainability, taking into account the impact related to dependency on the motor car in rural households. This is discussed in the context of results from a study of households from a small town and a rural area within the Dublin commuter belt. It concludes that the pattern of dispersed rural growth in Ireland is unsustainable with regard to travel-related impacts, and that the Irish planning system cannot respond to this consideration.
