Popis:	A dichotomy is evident between the high demand for dwellings in Britain and the strict control over land availability for housing development. More new housing is being constructed within existing urban areas. This paper examines the South East and Midland regions of Britain, looking at the strategies whereby dwelling densities are increased by redeveloping within existing mature residential areas. The types of changes to plots, and dwelling types produced, are discussed. The changes vary between regions and between the agents involved, especially individuals and developers. This process of intensification has considerable implications for mature residential areas, a considerable land use resource in many cities in developed countries, but areas that are increasingly regarded in Britain as being worthy of conservation.
