Ellie Benton and Ruby Russell from LSE Housing and Communities recently facilitated a series of knowledge exchange workshops with built environment professionals, leading to the publication of two blogs in the LSE London blogs. 

The first blog discussed wellbeing in high rise housing and how residents experience these buildings by bringing together experts from a range of sectors to gain a better understanding of what factors affect residents’ wellbeing. Participants included architects, developers, local authority officers and academics.
