Whilst the financial climate is restricting overall investment in affordable housing, mixed tenure developments now account for a greater proportion of the affordable housing investment programme than has ever been the case previously. CIH Scotland has carried out a short piece of research into the practical challenges of developing and then managing mixed tenure developments in Scotland. A survey was sent out to local authorities and housing associations across Scotland in an attempt to gather information on some of the barriers or challenges associated with mixed tenure developments and how organisations have sought to overcome these. A developer perspective was also sought. The briefing argues that The future prospects for new mixed tenure developments will be more affected by funding difficulties than by developer or purchaser attitudes.

It is argued that this approach, grounded in new academic work, provides a better way of both analysing and advancing the possibilities for the integration of different communities into a stable social order.

The research finds that existing evaluation methods robustly support DCMS investment in tourism marketing, and that campaigns are likely to generate a significant amount of additional non-displaced consumer spending in tourism markets.
