How we've made a difference
Professor Phil Hubbard and colleagues led a project to understand ‘micro apartments’ geographies. These apartments are defined as below the standards considered normal for UK housing, and have become a growing urban housing feature in the country. Find out more about the Micro Home and the housing crisis project.
Often the key to tackling a challenge is to describe the extent, causes and effects of the issue. This is what has been done by Professor Cathy McIlwaine, who has worked with communities in London and Brazil to understand the impact of gender-based violence on minority communities.
