The City Council used quantitative research methods in a survey to study aspects of the trend. Two distinct features of the trend were identified: some people were moving into infill developments not by choice but because of price and supply constraints due to a perceive lack of new or “Greenfield” residential land and some residents had chosen to live on a small infill section because of lifestyle considerations. In this dissertation I report a study of these lifestyle considerations, which used a qualitative interview method to provide a more detailed view of the residents’ experience of living in infill housing.eninfill housingurbanurban intensificationlocationlifestyletownhousesenvironmentspaceconventionalcosmopolitanThesisDigital thesis can be viewed by current staff and students of Lincoln University only.
