| Objectives | The research will • identify and highlight emerging areas where there appear to be conflicts between "liveability" and "sustainability" • explore and understand the behavioural underpinnings of and future directions to these conflicts - considering (different kinds of) consumers, citizens and organisations • place these behavioural underpinnings in the context of the emerging research and policy discussion of "sustainable consumption" • identify potential research and policy avenues including, in particular, those associated with the planning of towns and town centres. The findings, relevant in their own right, would have direct implications for carrying through the current and likely future liveability and sustainability agendas. | |
| Abstract | This research investigates the relationship and potential conflicts between the liveability and the sustainable development agendas, from a broadly behavioural perspective, exploring the hypothesis that the general public have a range of habits by which they pursue quality of life that will occasionally conflict with long-run sustainability objectives and which therefore could imply hard policy choices. Particular attention will be paid to variations between different groups within society, notably along dimensions of age, ethnicity and social class, and the emerging sustainable consumption agenda. | |
