Session in English
Contemporary neo-liberal renewal programmes typically involve demolishing those public/social rental housing estates that were built during the previous Keynesian Welfare State round of urban renewal. The dominant aim is to prevent 'neighbourhood effects' through social mixing and tenure diversification via the insertion of new private housing for sale or rent; new homeowners are said to act as 'role models' for existing social tenants. Many academic studies of social mixing/tenure diversification schemes have critiqued the claims being made, and have instead highlighted processes of state-led gentrification and the displacement of the urban poor to city peripheries and beyond thereby exacerbating inequality and insecurity.
This session welcomes papers that either offer a comparative approach or examine single-city case studies on this topic. Examples of questions that papers might consider include:
What are the political and economic forces bringing about the renewal/destruction of public/social housing estates?
How do city's differential positions in the global economy impact on the type of new private housing developments occurring in renewed estates?
What is the impact of urban renewal on public/social housing residents?
What are the bureaucratic processes involved in moving these residents out of their homes (and sometimes back)?
Do they 'choose' to leave - or are they 'forced' to go, i.e. displaced?
Where do they go and how are their lives changed by their movements?
How are renewed public/social housing estates' place images being rebranded?
How are the new private properties being marketed and to whom?
What are the patterns of social interaction that occur in the renewed neighbourhoods?
Are social housing residents stigmatized by the new incomers, or do processes of genuine social mixing occur?
And if they do, what organizational mechanisms might bring such mixing about?
What forms of governance and security operate in the renewed neighbourhoods and with what effects?
The RC21 themes are here:
