Abstract

This mini review explores perspectives on density and discretionary planning policy in relation to the emergent landscapes of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) across selected English university cities. It examines the nexus between density in planning policies and transformations in student accommodation, presenting a research gap requiring further investigation. Our research builds upon limited literature on UK PBSA within which there has been inadequate interrogation of policy impacts on the substantial growth of this now mature market sector. By better understanding the relations between national planning policies and their local interpretations regarding PBSA, we can move toward improving understandings for urban futures. The intersectionality between the evolution of the PBSA sector and the planning system are currently underexplored. The paper highlights the proliferation, densification, and concentration patterns of PBSAs and their connections to the surrounding planning system. The emergence of privately developed PBSA in the UK is typically characterized by medium to high rise, and medium to high density development. Higher density PBSA has created a dynamic spectrum of impacts reflecting subjective perceptions of their emergence in university cities. Our mini review illustrates the growth trajectory and direction of the PBSA sector. We conclude with a reflection on the discretionary nature of planning policies for density that often create regulatory loopholes allowing PBSA to thrive as a niche real estate asset class but not necessarily as a local and social collective asset.
密度,规划,以及英格兰学生宿舍的新兴景观
这篇小型综述探讨了在选定的英国大学城中,与专门建造的学生宿舍(PBSA)的新兴景观相关的密度和自由规划政策的观点。它研究了规划政策中的密度与学生住宿转变之间的关系,提出了需要进一步调查的研究差距。我们的研究建立在英国PBSA有限的文献基础上,其中对政策对这个现已成熟的市场部门大幅增长的影响的质疑不足。通过更好地理解国家规划政策和地方对PBSA的解释之间的关系,我们可以朝着提高对城市未来的理解迈进。PBSA部门的演变与规划系统之间的相互关系目前尚未得到充分探讨。本文强调了pbsa的扩散、密集和集中模式及其与周围规划系统的联系。在英国,私人开发的PBSA的出现具有中高层和中高密度发展的典型特征。更高密度的PBSA产生了动态的影响谱,反映了人们对它们在大学城出现的主观看法。我们的小型回顾说明了PBSA行业的增长轨迹和方向。最后,我们反思了密度规划政策的自由支配性质,这往往会造成监管漏洞,使PBSA作为一种利基房地产资产类别蓬勃发展,但不一定是当地和社会的集体资产。
