Create Streets poll: historic housing forms preferred

An online survey by the independent built environment research organisation Create Streets has revealed an interesting insight into the types of housing preferred by design professionals and students.

The quick and visual survey was designed to assess which may be the preferred housing type of people from various backgrounds, by first presenting four visuals to choose from, then enquiring as to the respondent’s current place of residence (urban, rural or suburban) and profession.  Select summary interpretations of the results include:

  • Place trumps time
  • People are from Mars. Professionals are from Venus.
  • Architectural awards ARE a good indicator of popularity – but only if you invert them.
  • Style matters more than cars
  • Style matters more than precise heights.
