Abstract:

With increased urbanization around the world, accessing land as well as housing in urban areas presents huge development limitations. This master thesis will explore the relationship involving law as well as development through examination of ways in which law affects the regulatory structures that govern official accessibility to land along with housing processes. It can be argued that legal reforms affect ways in which regulatory frameworks are articulated that in turn influence the efficient and unbiased processes whereby poor people in urban areas may have formal access to housing as well as land. This thesis focuses on the urban renewal policy on housing conditions in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Other mega cities within Africa such as Johannesburg in Southern Africa tends to have several post-legal-reform positive trends involving the processes compared to Dar es Salaam, thus illustrating the role played by law as an important tool that can be used to achieve development and bring change in urban areas.

Full text

Abstract:

Unlike major cities across the country, New Orleans did not have the power to expropriate property to engage in urban renewal projects after 1954. Yet city officials desperately sought to meet the ends of urban renewal, specifically through public claims of slum clearance and private motivation to speed along neighborhood segregation. Hamstrung in their efforts to move forward with taking residents' homes for private redevelopment, the city worked to reach its urban renewal goals by taking property for public works projects, including public housing. The city's decision to build the Guste and Fischer housing projects represents a case study of how officials, including Mayor deLesseps â€œChepâ€ Morrison, the City Planning Commission, and the Housing Authority of New Orleans, worked together to create a more racially separate city in the age of Brown v. Board of Education.

Abstract:

The study examines the influences of the Qianmen urban renewal project on its original residents, which is one of a few demonstration projects under the new policy orientation of urban renewal practices in Beijing, China, entering the new century. It employs "residential satisfaction" as an evaluative indicator to understand the residents' experiences before and after urban renewal. Seventy-two residents were interviewed. Among them, 25 remained in Qianmen; 20 relocated to Hongshan, a neighborhood in the central city area; 21 moved to Longyue, a neighborhood in one of the suburban areas; and 6 residents relocated to other locations. The study found that the participants' level of residential satisfaction was skewed toward dissatisfaction before the urban renewal, whereas participants showed a much higher satisfaction level after the urban renewal, which means that overall the Qianmen urban renewal project had positive impacts on the residents' residential environment. However, among the three neighborhoods, there are no statistically significant differences. The policy arrangements of the Qianmen urban renewal project contribute to the results. Under the new policy orientation, the policy arrangements of the Qianmen urban renewal project featured a government-led approach with a large amount of public investment, which formed a good basis to provide better compensation to the residents, in particular to provide extra aid to low income residents. Therefore, the residents got their housing conditions improved to a large extent contributing to their higher level of residential satisfaction after the project was implemented. Because of the extra aid, the low income residents were even more satisfied than the middle-high income residents. On the other hand, the policy arrangements took into account the opinions of the original residents, in other words, most residents made their own decision about where to live after the urban renewal. In this circumstance, they actually saw the urban renewal as an opportunity to improve their residential environment, in spite of the fact that the urban renewal project was initiated by the municipal government. Therefore residents stayed or relocated voluntarily, which significantly predicts the resulting higher level of residential satisfaction. The findings in the Qianmen case remind us that we do need a more open, balanced perspective for analysis of urban renewal processes and outcomes, rather than a predominantly negative displacement view embedded in a gentrification discourse; and that policy arrangements toward more redistribution and social equity are more likely to achieve positive outcomes for disadvantaged people. However, the improvements in unit size and housing quality are the main achievements of the urban renewal. Many residents still face the shortage of community facilities in the short run, and in the long run they might continue to suffer from poorer accessibility to public facilities and other resources. Furthermore, the urban renewal inevitably caused social disturbances for many residents, in particular for disadvantaged people (low income residents, and the elderly, etc), although the negative impacts of relocation on social networks were mitigated by the benefits of escaping the social conflicts and annoyance in the original neighborhood, and were compensated by the improved housing conditions. Generally, the key argument of this study is that policy makers need to pay more attention to the disadvantaged class; in other words, the government needs to assume its role more actively in redistribution and social equity.

Abstract:

Saint-Denis, ville populaire et limitrophe de Paris est particulièrement impactée par l’habitat insalubre. Comment une ville communiste qui promeut une politique inclusive traite la question de l’habitat insalubre et quels sont les enjeux géopolitiques derrière la résorption de cet habitat ? Concernant les bidonvilles, les élus de Saint-Denis se sont fait les porte-voix de cette question à l’échelle nationale et mènent plusieurs projets d’insertion sur le territoire. Ceux-ci relèvent plus, en l’absence de politique nationale, d’un bricolage et se heurtent au manque de moyens, au problème de relogement et parfois à la réaction de certains riverains. Quant à l’insalubrité des immeubles, elle persiste malgré trente ans de politiques publiques, en raison de la faible efficacité des politiques incitatives, de la paupérisation de la ville et de la logique de marché qui a attiré des propriétaires bailleurs d’abord intéressés par la rentabilité des biens. Depuis 2008, la municipalité concentre ses efforts sur le centre-ville via un important programme de rénovation urbaine (un Programme National de requalification des Quartiers Anciens Dégradés – PNRQAD), qui s’inscrit dans une stratégie de valorisation du centre-ville pour attirer des propriétaires plus à même d’entretenir le bâti. La mise en place du PNRQAD soulève des enjeux de peuplement, d’image et d’évolution sociologique du centre-ville, d’autant plus que les communistes sont politiquement en difficulté. Ils se retrouvent pris dans une contradiction majeure : changer l’image de Saint-Denis pour contribuer à un meilleur entretien du bâti favorise une évolution du peuplement qui leur sera défavorable électoralement
Saint-Denis, a working class city in the suburb of Paris, is particularly impacted by run-down housing. How does a communist city that promotes an inclusive politics, addresses the question of degraded housing and what are the geopolitical stakes behind the resorption of this type of habitat? Saint-Denis’ elected officials have become outspoken on the question of slums at the national level and lead several projects for inserting their inhabitants in the territory. Those are however more akin to patch-up jobs considering the absence of a national policy and they face the lack of funding, the problem of rehousing, and sometimes negative reactions from other residents. With regards to apartment buildings’ insalubrity, it remains a problem despite thirty years of public policies. This is due to the low efficiency of incentivizing policies, city pauperization, and market-based solutions that attract landlords more interested in economic returns than good maintenance. Since 2008, city hall concentrates its efforts on the downtown area through a major program of urban renewal (PNRQAD), as part of a strategy to revalorize it to attract owners that would maintain housing’s upkeep. The implementation of the PNRQAD raises questions on issues of settlement, image, and sociological evolution of the downtown area, all the more so now that communists are faced with a rising socialist party. Communist elected officials therefore now face an internal contradiction: changing Saint-Denis’ image with the purpose of increasing the quality of housing conditions favors a settlement pattern that will be electorally detrimental to them

Abstract:

Si l'on prend la notion dans ses différentes acceptions, la question du patrimoine se pose aujourd'hui avec acuité dans les grands ensembles (GE). Cette recherche considère qu'elle est une clé de lecture originale pour comprendre les attendus institutionnels de la gestion des GE. Parallèlement, l'objet décalé qu'est le GE permet des réflexions sur les processus de fabrication du patrimoine (enjeux, contradictions). La recherche porte pour cela sur des GE exemplaires,précurseurs et contrastés : ceux du sud-est de Saint-Etienne, en particulier Beaulieu et Montchovet.Au gré des stratégies d'acteurs, ces GE se sont opposés : Beaulieu a toujours été destiné à une population large desalariés ; Montchovet est un GE dévalorisé destiné par réorientation dans les années 1980 aux plus démunis et aux immigrés.Un schéma directeur d'initiative locale (office et Ville), élaboré en 2000 et mis en oeuvre grâce à l'ANRU, s'appuie sur ce constat et propose la démolition de Montchovet et la confortation de Beaulieu. L'opération est emblématique d'une démarche de retour aux sources du mouvement HLM. En étant valorisés au titre du patrimoine (notarial, mais aussi architectural et mémoriel), des groupes tel Beaulieu s'imposent en idéaux de référence. Us servent de point d'appui (y compris au sens topographique dans ce cas) pour la reconquête du parc et d'une clientèle qui s'est détournée des HLM.Mais ce modèle refondateur escamote la pluralité des mémoires d'habitants, tandis que la préservation au nom des spécificités architecturales s'enferme dans des impasses et contradictions (gentrification, usages allant contre certains principes du logement social).

Saint-Macary, Émilie. "Mixité sociale et diversité de l'habitat : l'investissement d'acteurs privés dans les opérations de rénovation urbaine." Thesis, Paris Est, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PEST1153.

Full text

Abstract:

Depuis la loi d'orientation et de programmation sur la ville et la rénovation urbaine du 1er Août 2003, la diversité de l'habitat est placée au cœur des nouvelles injonctions nationales par l'instauration d'un nouvel instrument : la diversification des statuts d'occupation de logements. Depuis les tout premiers dispositifs de la politique de la ville, il s'agit d'instaurer davantage de mixité sociale pour lutter contre la concentration de la pauvreté. Introduire une diversité d'habitat dans les quartiers populaires n'est donc pas une nouveauté. Elle prend cependant une configuration différente dans le cadre de la politique de rénovation urbaine actuelle : depuis la mise en place de l'Agence Nationale de Rénovation Urbaine (ANRU), découlant de la loi du 1er Août 2003, on constate d'une part, un basculement des financements publics vers une prise en charge privée du budget de la politique de rénovation urbaine par Action logement , et d'autre part, une intervention quasiment systématique de deux acteurs privés sur les projets : les promoteurs privés et l'Association Foncière Logement (AFL), qui prennent tout deux nouvellement part à la reconstruction de logements dans les ZUS. Cette nouvelle dimension économique des Projets de Rénovation Urbaine (PRU) pose autrement la question de la mise en œuvre de la mixité sociale dans ces quartiers populaires. Elle nous a amené à nous interroger sur les enjeux placés autour de la nécessaire rentabilité d'opérations d‘acteurs privés effectuées dans le cadre d'un programme d'action publique porteur d'une mission d'intérêt général. La thèse repose sur l'hypothèse principale selon laquelle les acteurs privés impliqués dans les opérations de rénovation urbaine réajustent leurs pratiques pour produire une offre adaptée au marché nouvellement visé. Nous avons testé cette hypothèse sur trois sites en rénovation urbaine : Mantes la Jolie (78), Le Blanc Mesnil (93) et enfin Le Havre (76) qui mettent chacun en œuvre des stratégies de diversification de l'habitat très différentes. En étudiant la programmation de la diversification de logement sur chacun de ces sites, cette thèse met en évidence les décalages entre les intentions initiales des porteurs de projets et la programmation effective des logements privés, tant au niveau des caractéristiques de logements que des populations ciblées, remettant potentiellement en cause les objectifs initialement annoncés de mixité sociale
Since the vote of the orientation law in August 1st, 2003 on urban renewal, housing diversity is at the centre of new national injunctions by the government through the introduction of a new instrument: the diversification of the housing tenure. From the very first urban renewal program planning in France, social mix is used as a tool against poverty concentration. The introduction of housing diversity into the working-class neighbourhoods is therefore not a novelty. But, it has taken today a different turn in France's current urban renewal policy. Indeed, since the implementation of the Agence Nationale pour la Rénovation urbaine (ANRU) (national agency for urban renewal) we observe a shift in the financing sources of the urban renewal policy budget; the public sector has considerably reduced its participation while private investors such as Action Logement have become major investors. Second, we observe a quasi-systematic intervention of two types of private actors on the reconstruction projects, namely indepedant private developers and the Association Foncière Logement (AFL).This new economic setting gives another dimension to the implementation of social diversity in these areas. This notably raises the question of the ability of private actors to realize a public mission while being constrained by the necessity of profitability. The main hypothesis tested in this thesis is that private actors involved in urban renewal adjust their actions in order to provide an offer adapted to the newly targeted market. We test this hypothesis on three different sites: Mantes-la-Jolie (78), Le Blanc-Mesnil (93) and Le Havre (76) in which different diversification strategies have been applied. By investigating the implementation plans of diversification housing on each site, this thesis puts in evidence the different gaps existing between the initial intentions and the programs' achievements, both in terms of housing characteristics and of targeted populations. Such gaps potentially jeopardize the initially announced objectives of social mix

Abstract:

Rehabilitation and reconstruction of dilapidated houses in the Old City is now the central issue of urban development of Beijing. On the one hand, it relates to the life of 800,000 people who live in old and dilapidated houses in the old residential quarters; on the other hand, it directly deals with the issue of preservation of the image of the old city. Starting with three pilot projects in 1988, 37 Stage One projects have been completed and some projects of further Stages are in the process of being built within the urban renewal program. However, the result is not so satisfactory in fulfilling its ends.
This study is conducted in two main stages: first it attempts to demonstrate the rather complex circumstances which the urban renewal program is encountering. The redevelopment process is examined from the perspectives of political intention, economic limitation, professional dedication as well as concerns of the powers-that-be at different levels. Second, through the in-depth study on the process, preservation of the old city and re-accommodation of the original residents are raised to be the two key issues to evaluate the performance of the program. Detailed discussions are thus held around these two topics.
Efforts have also been made to find where the problems lie in order to direct the change of the political intention and consequently result in the adjustment of the policies and practice. Only then is it possible for the redevelopment program not to deviate from its main goals, which are to improve the living conditions of people and to preserve the image of the ancient capital.

Ren, Zhijie, and 任智劼. "The effects of flexible housing on urban housing obsolescence inChina." Thesis, The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong), 2010. http://hub.hku.hk/bib/B47185399.

Full text

Abstract:

The rapid socio-economic development in China has given rise to the problem of housing obsolescence. The reduction of housing obsolescence and the increase in housing service life are important from the perspective of sustainable development. In extant literature, flexibility has been introduced as an important method to reduce housing obsolescence. However, no empirical evidence exists to illustrate the effects of flexibility on reducing housing obsolescence. Therefore, by correlating knowledge on flexibility and housing obsolescence, this study attempts to explore the effects of flexibility on reducing urban housing obsolescence with special focus on Chinese flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The research question which this study attempts to address is whether housing obsolescence can be obviously reduced by flexibility in Chinese flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. First, the theoretical framework of this research explains Chinese flexible approaches within the context of Chinese housing development since 1949. Second, it explores the mechanism of obsolescence in flexible housing practices during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The internal and external threat of housing obsolescence is discussed. A cross-national comparison is also made to understand the context of these practices. Third, theoretical framework suggests two scenarios and three theoretical propositions, and it specifies three key factors for analyzing the effects of flexibility on the reduction of housing obsolescence: changeability, housing obsolescence, and changing behavior by dwellers. Finally, it establishes a methodology for empirical investigation. Six Chinese neighborhoods built during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s which contain both flexible houses and similar ordinary houses are selected as cases according to screening criteria. Data are obtained by survey among households, interviews, analysis of archival records, and on-site observation. The main unit of analysis is a type of flat. The data analysis revolves around the three propositions put forward. The results of the empirical study indicate that the six cases do not agree with the three propositions. First, only a small number of households use the pre-set changeability in flexible flats. Second, flexible flats do not have a much lower score in housing obsolescence than similar ordinary flats. Third, the score on housing obsolescence for households who use changeability is not obviously lower than that for households who do not. These findings are discussed within the theoretical framework. In general, this research does not support the notion that flexibility in the flexible housing can reduce housing obsolescence obviously in the given context.

Abstract:

Depuis la loi du 1er août 2003 d’orientation et de programmation pour la ville et la rénovation urbaine, les quartiers dits « sensibles » des agglomérations françaises sont engagés dans un vaste programme de transformation, présenté par son concepteur, Jean-Louis Borloo, comme le plus grand chantier du siècle. Localement, les projets de rénovation urbaine s’appuient sur des opérations urbanistiques – démolition, réhabilitation, construction de logements – qui suscitent des mobilités résidentielles plus ou moins contraintes et organisées par les acteurs engagés dans les projets. Cette thèse pose la question de l’impact de ces opérations dans l’évolution des quartiers, replacés dans une perspective temporelle plus longue. Y a-t-il rupture radicale dans les dynamiques observées à moyen terme ? Quels sont les effets des transformations physiques et des mobilités résidentielles induites sur la composition sociale des quartiers rénovés ? À l’aide d’une démarche inductive et pragmatique partant de la comparaison de quatre sites en rénovation, et d’une analyse statistique, ce travail de recherche interroge l’effet de lieu dans la rénovation urbaine. Les conclusions mettent en évidence que des phénomènes structurels (parc de logements initial, contexte géographique et social) contraignent fortement l’évolution des sites, et que les mobilités résidentielles se traduisent par une reconcentration des populations précaires dans des quartiers de plus en plus fragmentés
In 2003, a landmark enactment was passed in France to fight urban blight. Since then, the French government is engaged in a policy of major urban renewal that targets run-down neighborhoods in central or peripheral urban areas. Local projects consist in refurbishing existing buildings or in tearing down and rebuilding old ones, as a way to promote spatial and social changes. Those programs induce different types of residential mobility, from mandatory mobility implemented by local players, to mobility that is more spontaneous. This thesis addresses the impact of those projects upon the evolution of the targeted areas, studied on a middle-term basis. Do the spatial and social dynamics of those areas radically change? What are the social consequences of the transformations of the built environment and of residential mobility? Our approach is inductive, and pragmatic. The comparison of four projects, statistically studied, allows us to test the hypothesis of an impact of place on urban renewal. As the result of our analysis, structural facts, such as housing stock, or social and geographical contexts, appear to be determining factors of the evolution of the studied areas. Residential mobility tends to re-concentrate disadvantaged people, thus increasing spatial fragmentation – which does not match the initial goals of the 2003 law

Abstract:

Given the increasing importance of affordability in housing policy reform debates, this study develops a new composite approach to measuring housing affordability and employs it to examine the nature of urban housing affordability in Nigeria. The data used in this study are based on the Nigerian Living Standards Survey 2003-2004. The aggregate housing affordability model developed here measures housing affordability problems more accurately and classifies the housing affordability status of households more appropriately than the conventional affordability models. Findings show very high levels of housing affordability problems in Nigeria with about 3 out of every 5 urban households experiencing such difficulties. There are also significant housing affordability differences between socio-economic groups, housing tenure groups and states in Nigeria. The current national housing policy that de-emphasises government involvement in housing provision does not allow the country’s full potential for tackling its serious affordability problems to be realised and, hence, the laudable ‘housing for all’ goal of the policy has remained elusive. Nigerian socio-economic realities demand far more vigorous government involvement in housing development, working with a more committed private sector, energised civil societies and empowered communities to tackle the enormous housing problems of the country

In the last three decades, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has managed to replace its welfare-based urban housing system with a market-based housing provision scheme. With such significant housing policy changes, the PRC has successfully expanded urban home ownership and impressively increased per capita housing consumption. The housing market has become one of the major pillar industries in the country's economic boom. However, affordable housing development has been greatly lagging behind the ever-increasing housing needs of a large lower-income population in the country, while housing price bubbles cast a shadow on sustainable economic development in the PRC. The main reasons for such challenges include the inefficiency of financial tools to regulate the housing market; and the discrete interests among the central government, local governments, and real estate developers. Within the context of the ongoing global economic recession after the financial crisis in 2008, it is even more critical to balance the PRC's housing development, both to address the people's housing needs, and to maintain sustainable growth.

This thesis will focus on how urban housing design reflects the new one-child family population policy in the traditional urban context in Beijing, China. The population policy has changed the size and structure of traditional family, and further affected children's growing up environment. Children, used to grow up in a joint family of three generations in a traditional courtyard house, now have isolated by apartment box. The traditional social and spatial relationships among children, families, and neighbors have been extremely weakened. My intention is to restore the lost relationships for lonely children in a high density residential complex. This complex, transformed from the traditional single story courtyard house, becomes one big house, where all neighbors live under one roof as one big family. As a consequence, children in a one child family still have the same feeling of multi generations living together as their old generations had before.

Abstract:

Externalities are defined as situations where an economic activity of an economic subject affects the production or consumption activities of other economic subjects (third parties), that do not participate in the activity. Externalities therefore cause changes in the welfare state of third party subjects and result in an economic inefficiency in an economy, indicating that the economy does not enjoy the maximum benefits from its given resources. Reconstruction project is a kind of large scale residential renewal programs that is organized and undertaken by private sector in Korea. In the process of profit maximization in the private sector, old housing estates are reconstructed with higher and larger residential buildings, as well as more dwelling units on the same sites. These changes emit externalities into the neighbourhood residential markets. The aim of the study is to demonstrate, statistically, the creation of externalities in the reconstruction of old housing estate. In doing so, the study investigates the differences of land prices in the neighbourhood residential markets due to the externalities generated by the projects and quantifies the differences, using the land price data from the Ministry of Construction and Transportation in Korea. Three statistical analysis methods were used in the study. Firstly, descriptive statistic detected the differences of land prices between the residential markets in each project case and indicated the existence of the externalities in some of the neighbourhood residential markets. Secondly, ANOVA and T-tests statistically concluded that reconstruction projects emit externalities in some neighbourhood residential markets. Lastly, the intervention analysis quantified the amounts of the externalities and verified the established hypotheses. The major finding of the study is that reconstruction projects emit externalities in the neighbourhood residential markets, and the net externalities are, on the whole, positive. It is concluded that the general welfare could be extended as the production level of reconstruction projects is increased.

Abstract:

The Candidate's registration form (PF1) approved by the Research Committee of Sheffield Hallam University in September 2000 included the following summary abstract of the portfolio of published work:Housing and wider urban policy constitute a complex, inter-connected and multidimensional field, marked in the last two decades by deep and pervasive change. Research here raises issues of economics and finance; law and welfare rights; architecture, design and construction; planning and management; and politics and governance. However, the candidate's particular perspective on urban processes and policy is sociological. Over a prolonged period he has drawn on sociological perspectives, concepts and methods of analysis to develop distinctive and critical analyses of housing and urban policy questions. In more recent years this general orientation has been expressed in a collection of refereed papers, a book and two major research reports that form an essentially coherent and evolving programme of study. This has involved an appraisal of the implications of the eclipse of traditional urban policies associated with post-1945 'welfarism' (especially council housing) and their supersession by new approaches that, at least formally, emphasise resident or 'community' participation in housing policy and urban 'regeneration'. Informed by various social scientific concepts and debates, therefore, this work has produced the following specific contributions to knowledge: a) a distinctive interpretation of the origins of British council housing and the consequences of this legacy for the subsequent rise and fall of social housing; b) a distinctive appraisal and interpretation of the merits and deficiencies of council housing; c) a balanced critique of social surveys in tenant involvement in housing policy, based on a critical examination of the concept of 'housing satisfaction'; d) a critical assessment of the merits of tenant training for participation, informed by an exploration of competing conceptions of 'citizenship'; e) critical assessments of the quest for 'community' involvement in urban policy (through two major research projects on tenant training and the local impact of the Church Urban Fund); f) a sociological critique of current definitions of urban 'regeneration'; and g) an assessment of the fortunes of the housing 'professional project' in a context of accelerating change.

Abstract:

Housing was considered a public good rather than a marketable commodity at the early stage in the development of most socialist countries. Governments in those countries assumed full responsibility for urban housing finance, construction, allocation, management, maintenance and rehabilitation. A policy of low official rents and high subsidies was adopted as the method to ensure that all urban residents would have access to the state built housing stock. Success in solving the housing problem was to be a showpiece for the socialist countries. However, after approximately forty years of development of the socialist housing economy, many urban residents in countries such as China and Hungary still face severe housing problems. The governments in these two countries have initiated a variety of new efforts in recent years in an attempt to improve the living conditions of their urban residents. In spite of this, many urban housing problems persist and some are even becoming worse. In view of this situation, both governments have introduced new housing policies which recognize certain aspects of housing as a commodity within the socialist economy. A major aim of these new policies is to encourage individual financial participation in residential construction. This approach, commonly referred to as the policy of housing commercialization, is considered by government to be a feasible approach to resolving the tenacious urban housing problem and an effective means to significantly improve living conditions for all urban residents. By undertaking a comparative study of China's and Hungary's urban housing policies, housing delivery systems and housing problems, this research endeavours to describe and assess the rationale and other associated factors behind this housing policy transformation in both China and Hungary. In addition, this research examines the lessons of Hungary's housing policy reform and concludes with a set of policy recommendations for China's future urban housing efforts.
