  • New-Build Housing, Mobility and the Life Course a Study of Housing-Driven Economic Growth Strategy in Doncaster
    New-build housing, mobility and the life course A study of housing-driven economic growth strategy in Doncaster By: Amy Clare Beckett A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning 2018 Supervised by Dr Nicola Dempsey and Professor Ed Ferrari Abstract By implementing housing strategies which focus improving provision for more affluent groups, policymakers may hope to alter the demographic mix of a locality with the aim of stimulating economic growth to compete more effectively in a globalised world. This thesis examines the potential role of high-end new-build housing as part of a ‘bootstraps’ (Eisenschitz and Gough, 1993) local economic growth strategy in the context of ‘austerity urbanism’ (Peck, 2012). To explore these issues, the thesis employs a mixed-method, biographical approach to examine inward and internal migration into new-build homes in Doncaster, a post-industrial metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire. In doing so, the research provides a story of Doncaster, its neighbourhoods and its residents, exploring the ways in which individual, shared and collective narratives combine to influence household needs and preferences, and ultimately mobility outcomes. The empirical findings of this research suggest that targeted high-end new-build housing is insufficient as a policy mechanism to attract the substantial inward migration of middle-to-high income groups in Doncaster. Here, the potential economic benefit associated with a housing-based urban competition strategy appears not to have been met in empirical outcomes. In addition, whilst new-build housing provided a welcome addition to local market for more affluent existing residents and newcomers, findings suggest a policy focus on more affluent groups has the potential to exacerbate local spatial inequalities and threaten social cohesion by creating new opportunities for the segregation of more affluent groups.

  • South Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    South Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Third Edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… With a foreword by Lord David Blunkett This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. South Yorkshire is a landscape and culture steeped in a history of coal mining, steel industry, agriculture and the slightly more light hearted tradition of butterscotch production in Doncaster! In recent years the major cities and towns have undergone huge transformations but much of the history and industry is still visible today including steel manufacturing in Sheffield, the medieval streets of Rotherham and the weekly town centre market in Barnsley – a tradition held since 1249! For those that enjoy the outdoors, South Yorkshire is equally diverse. You can enjoy the many tracks and trails of the spectacular Peak District National Park or the Trans Pennine Trail, the rolling fields of corn and windmills of Penistone, and the wildfowl delights of Rother Valley Country Park – an opencast coal mine turned local nature reserve. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, getting out into the countryside on your own, doing voluntary work, or investigating your local wildlife from home, we hope you get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside.
