For our first Empty Homes Webinar of 2022, we have invited back Jill Arriordaz who will be further discussing her research with Birmingham City University exploring the topic of empty homes from a development perspective. She will present an overview of the research, the key findings and recommendations.  Incentives and barriers to bringing empty property back into use for small developers, property owners and other stakeholders within the empty homes field, with focus on the role of local government will be explored.

We have also invited a second speaker, Mayanka Dave Mukherji, who will be giving an insightful presentation on “Storeys of Emptiness: An Anthropological Study of Empty Homes in Chelsea”. Her presentation will deliver understanding on how London’s empty homes are mapped, normalised, or villainised – and how people in Chelsea live alongside emptiness.
