Cambridge Centre for Housing & Planning Research

 

This project was a collaboration between CCHPR, the Department of Geography and the Office of External Affairs and Communications at the University of Cambridge. A study was conducted on behalf of the Cambridge Older Peoples Reference Group (COPRG) to explore older people’s views of services in the Cambridge area. This formed part of an undergraduate research methods course in the Department of Geography. Students were taught research methods before being supported to conduct the research themselves. This innovative project linked academic teaching, research and the local community.
