This project sought to investigate whether Geographic Information Systems (GIS) could enhance the representation and analysis of property occupier chaining data. It exploited an existing dataset of office and industrial occupier chains in Tyne and Wear and used a GIS to illustrate, measure and analyse the chaining data more effectively than had previously been possible. We have been able to demonstrate that, although time consuming, it is a relatively straightforward and logical process to translate property occupier chaining data into a GIS.

The office of 2030: Views from the industry

The days of the iconic office tower are numbered, according to a new survey of developers, occupiers and industry bodies. Demand for office space will rise in the next 20 years, but the size of offices will decrease, says the survey by multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy hurleypalmerflatt. The result will be for fewer large, speculative office developments and more incremental development, as noted by 64 per cent of respondents. People will be working in smaller, more flexible and adaptable spaces very close to public transport and with advanced IT systems embedded into the building’s fabric. This will lead to fewer iconic buildings being constructed, according to 62 per cent of respondents. Findings of this survey are illustrated through a series of videos, looking at the main drivers of change in the office of 2030; the impact of the economy, carbon and the environment; how influential technology and social and community needs will be; and how occupiers and developers will influence the market for offices in 2030.

A research study, carried out by staff in the School of Architecture and the Built environment at the University of Westminster, has been published by RICS.  The study found that the regeneration of the Olympic Park site and associated infrastructure will be a crucial step in providing a lasting legacy in East London. The report highlights London’s focus on legacy from the outset as a key factor in planning for lasting benefit. It also confirms that the Games provide a unique opportunity to kick-start the delivery of new homes and infrastructure on and around the site. Other regeneration initiatives nearby, such as Westfield Stratford City, are also vital in providing wider regeneration and opportunities for East Londoners.
