EVERYDAY
PLACES
Improving shops is Britain’s most important regeneration priority.
We asked people to think about what was available in their local area at the moment and tell us what needed improving most urgently. The most popular answer for the country as a whole was “good local shops” followed by “good transport services”.
EXPLORE BY LOCATION
A new way of measuring ‘place’.
We asked people to rate how well their local areas were doing on the everyday things they themselves thought were important. Overall, around three-quarters of the population thought the local availability of the items they needed and wanted was nearer ‘good’ than ‘bad'.
We asked about access to fresh air and nature, shops, transport, housing, internet access, places to go out, premises to support jobs, exercise and sports facilities and supportive communities and pleasant streets.

Working with Legal & General, Demos has produced two reports.

"Covid-19 has driven major change to people’s lives and global economies. Our ideas around what we need from our homes, workplace and communities have been challenged."
