Prosperity in east London 2021-2031 is a 10-year study tracking the prosperity of over 4,000 households in 15 areas of east London where large-scale and long-term urban regeneration is driving rapid physical, economic, and social changes in local communities.

It is a mixed methods study combining a household survey and qualitative research conducted by citizen social scientists - residents trained to work as social researchers in their neighbourhoods. The study will look at how regeneration affects the prosperity of people from different backgrounds and neighbourhoods in the long-term, asking:

• Who benefits and how from regeneration?

• What are the obstacles to prosperity for people from different backgrounds and areas?

Prosperity in east London 2021-2031 uses the Institute for Global Prosperity’s Citizen Prosperity Index to explore how the ‘prosperity gains’ from regeneration investments are shared in and between local communities. The Citizen Prosperity Index is a new way of measuring prosperity that reports on what matters to local communities.
