University of Manchester Researchers

August 11, 2026

Over the coming weeks, you may see or speak to local researchers, many of which have been recruited from the local area, working on behalf of the University of Manchester.

The University of Manchester are undertaking a long-term research study looking at the impact of large-scale regeneration on both new and existing communities. The local researchers are undertaking a survey of 1500 people, which is one element of the Flourishing Index that will help us understand individual and collective wellbeing and how Brent Cross Town can have a meaningful positive impact on the physical, social and economic wellbeing of the local population.

The survey is entirely optional, but we welcome your involvement where the findings will help shape the way the area is changing. More information about the Flourishing Index can be found at brentcrosstown.co.uk/flourishing

If you have any suggestions for the team at Brent Cross Town on the development, including events and activities that you would like to see made available, please contact community@brentcrosstown.co.uk

Brent Cross Town is the new park town being delivered in partnership between Related Argent and Barnet Council, at the heart of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration programme.
