Title: Conducting an Effective Housing Survey to Inform Planning in the Royal Borough of Kingston
Sponsor: The Royal Borough of Kingston
Sponsor Liaison: Alexandra Rosser-Trokas and Laura Mundy
Student Team: Michael Judelson, David Kent, and John Manero
Abstract: This project’s purpose was to conduct a survey of new housing developments in Kingston. The project group conducted a hybrid survey with post, web, and face-to-face components. The survey informed a variety of planning policies by gathering data on child yield, school enrollment, migration, car ownership, community facilities, and housing satisfaction. The group produced a catalogue of tables, graphs, and maps of the above data, a Microsoft Access project and manual, and a set of recommendations for conducting future surveys.
