Trajectories of Multiple Deprivation in England, 2004–2025
The English Indices of Deprivation (IoDs) offer insights into the contemporary geographies of deprivation in England. The most recent (2025) IoD release is the first since COVID‐19 and the first in the context of the current cost of living crisis. The IoD provides neighbourhood‐level measures of multiple forms of deprivation and is an invaluable tool for local authority districts (LAs), NGOs, and others concerned with understanding and tackling s…
Maternal elaboration and children’s episodic memory accuracy
Research demonstrating the mnemonic benefits of maternal elaboration on episodic memory development has given limited attention to conversational and developmental factors that may moderate this association, especially in relation to the accuracy of children's recall of unshared events. The present study examined associations between maternal elaboration and the accuracy of children's collaborative recall with their mothers and independent recall…

The role of non‐resident family ties in rural staying
Internal migration research is paying increasing attention to the role in migration behaviour of having non‐resident family—family living outside of the household—living close by, and also to non‐migration and staying in general. Combining these two themes, this paper investigates the role of non‐resident family ties in rural staying for adults aged 31–64. Using a mixed methods analysis of survey and interview data from the Netherlands, Germany a…
Love knows no (spatial) boundaries?‘
This paper focuses on the residential location choices made by rural-residing couples with diverse residential biographies at union formation. We explore how this decision-making process is navigated and negotiated as a newly formed household. The study is informed by prior research that has aided our understanding of the relational nature of moving and staying processes, and the integral role of life course transitions in shaping residential dec…
Age-friendly cities, knowledge and urban restructuring
Age-friendly cities and communities have emerged as a significant policy, participative and governance response to ageing and its spatial effects. This paper argues that it has important benefits in mobilizing older people, placing age on the urban agenda and building recognition across politicians, policy makers and programme managers. Based on the experience of Belfast (UK), the analysis suggests, however, that it needs to be understood within …
Planning to stay in the countryside
Study protocol
The HULAP study has been designed and implemented by a multi-disciplinary team and integrates differing methodologies to purposefully impact on policy and practice on healthy ageing in high and low-middle income countries. It has particular strengths in its combination of objective and self-reported measures using validated tools and the integration of GPS, accelerometer and GIS data to provide a robust assessment of 'spatial energetics'. The str…
