Housing Estates

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionaryAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Housing estates should not be seen by definition as the worst places in the city. Although quite a number of these estates do suffer from very bad stigmatization and heavy concentrations of all kinds of social and socioeconomic problems, other estates function very well and have an important housing function in the housing market and for those with lower incomes. Processes of urban restructuring have physically improved a number of estates in the past decade or two, although this did not automatically lead to social improvements. At the same time, research has indicated that many residents of large housing estates are fairly satisfied with, or even take some pride in, living there.
