In "Let Our Cities Breathe" earlier I wondered whether there was a mechanism that could make it financially feasible to redevelop whole neighbourhoods of private housing to cope with the post oil-age and climate and demographic change without any existing resident losing any of their existing equity value and whilst making space for fifty per cent more bedspaces in configurations more closely suited to current housing market needs and still sell the additional units and below market value.

So I set about to try to prove it on paper, and there is a spreadsheet now that purports to show it is possible. Go here to find out more about how Commmunity Land Trusts and Mutual Home Ownership could make a community led and owned "Wren-esque" grand plan for redeveloping any area a possibility.
