Poverty is at the root of the problems
facing many public housing projects in the U.K. today.
Experience emerging from 100 low-income housing estates
echoes findings from urban upgrading for the poor in
developing countries. Tackling poverty and unemployment in
low income communities cannot be left to the market alone.
Community participation and full partnership with
communities is key, but this is constrained by the push to
achieve results quickly, as well as lack of agency interest
and skills in working with poor communities as partners.
Lasting change requires a strong national and regional
policy framework, a new approach based on inter-agency
cooperation, local delivery, and meaningful participation by
local residents. Residents of such projects offer a
significant resource for regeneration, particularly when
they have established a foundation of local activity and
organizational experience. |
