The Scottish Executive has made a clear commitment to supporting the development and management of mixed income communities in Scotland. A central aim of this guide is to show the extent to which achieving mixed income developments is an important prerequisite for sustainable communities. Because of the limited data available on household incomes, tenure is often used as an alternative. In setting out the good practice guidance the authors argue therefore that achieving successful and attractive places to live (sometimes called ‘liveability’) should be the primary objective. This requires a clear vision that builds in the highest quality to all aspects of the development process from inception to long-term management processes, but which also reflects the needs and aspirations of the people to be housed. This important strategic role is sometimes called ‘place-shaping’. The guide is informed by detailed research based on published sources and from a series of case studies carried out especially for this publication. It will be of interest to anyone involved in the planning, design and management of housing and particularly those involved in creating sustainable communities.
