Neighbourhoods and The Lived Experience of Dementia: Spaces, Places, and People

This book brings together the key findings of all eight work programmes that made up the ESRC/NIHR Neighbourhoods and Dementia study. The five-year study began and was funded under action point 12 of the first Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia in 2012 and was administered by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), with the award was administered jointly with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). At the time, the Neighbourhoods study was one of the largest social science projects ever funded in the UK and involved collaborations between sites in England, Scotland, and Sweden, led by the University of Manchester. The study was concerned with better understanding how people with dementia navigated and interacted with their neighbourhood on an everyday basis. At the start, our definition of a neighbourhood was initially tied into work of Tim Blackman and his statement in 2006 that ‘neighbourhoods are more or less where we feel in control of the surroundings in which we live’. John Keady has a long-standing practice and academic career in the dementia studies field having published his first article in 1991 and completed his PhD in dementia studies in 1999. He has been involved in over 150 peer-reviewed articles since this time and has been editor, co-editor, or co-author on 10 books and has contributed to over 65 book chapters.
