Socio Economic Study Woodberry Down

Renaisi was commissioned to work with the London Borough of Hackney Housing Regeneration team to scope and assess the need for a range of community facilities as part of the new mixed community regeneration scheme in Woodberry Down.

The Regeneration programme for the estate will see the demolition of 1,980 homes and their replacement with 4,300 new homes (50% social and 50% private). This will create new social demands on the area and the opportunity exists to look holistically at the requirements for a new sustainable community in the area.

Renaisi developed a tool to map and project ahead the socio-demographic characteristics of the population of the new area. Our model enables us to see how the area will be shaped and changed through the influx of new private buyers. We mapped the full range of community facilities in the area, which included private provision including shops and banks along with transport links and a range of public facilities such as the need for new schools, health and youth facilities.
