I'm Susan Fitzpatrick, I am a lecturer in Human Geography at York St John University. My research interests revolve around how the idea of community is constructed in cultural, housing and regeneration policy. I am currently looking at the ways we can understand the evolution of the New Town in the UK, and how place making and identity intersect with the design principles of the New Town of Warrington, particularly the ecological planing approach pursued in the area of Birchwood.
