“…Our findings suggest that demographic characteristics and attitudes towards diversity are far more significant in predicting stigma than is proximity to public housing. Such findings echo insights from Norris et al (2018) that suggest that simply designing neighbourhoods that place public and private housing residents in close proximity may be less effective than other approaches, such as education and marketing tactics, that encourage private housing residents to challenge their assumptions about public housing.…”

“…This paper set out to understand how investments in the private rental markets are changing the socio-economic geography of housing estate neighbourhoods in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area-areas that have typically been stigmatized both nationally and internationally (Hyotylainen, 2019;Norris et al, 2019;Roivainen, 1999). Our paper has demonstrated a rent gap in housing estate neighbourhoods; and based on our two case studies, we conclude that the rent gap has been fuelled by population growth, a changing national housing policy framework, and local regeneration policies.…”

This paper addresses the under-researched phenomena of investments in the private rental markets in disadvantaged suburbs in Finland. Despite the application of a social-mixing policy in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and the Nordic welfare model, suburban housing estate neighbourhoods built in the 1960s and 1970s have experienced a socioeconomic decline since the 1990s. According to several recent large surveys, housing estate neighbourhoods represent the least popular housing environments among Finns. Nevertheless, as the Helsinki Metropolitan Area is currently facing rapid population growth, these neighbourhoods have now become the target for heavy infill development, and ambitious city-led regeneration plans. Simultaneously, housing investment has become an opportunity in Finland for both national and, increasingly, also international real-estate investment companies, as well as for private households. We explore the resurge to invest in housing estate neighbourhoods through two case studies in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Using statistics and interviews with policymakers and institutional real-estate investors, as well as a review of policy documents as our data, we show the variegated ways in which the marketization and financialization of housing and urban renewal policies change the social geography of housing estates in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.

“…The weak reputation of the neighborhood is composed of the community's negative attitude (Gourlay, 2006;Kirkness, 2013). Distance from the city center and lack of access to facilities are some other important factors (Gourlay, 2006;Tersteeg and Pinkster, 2016;Norris et al, 2019). Maintenance of outdoor and green space is also followed with different judgments because of exposure to the public view (Wassenberg, 2004a;Price, 2017).…”

Low-income housing (LIH) is subject to stigma. This study aims to measure the public attitude toward it with respect to three main attitude components. The survey was carried out using an online questionnaire and non-resident sample. Using exploratory factor analysis, 11 factors were derived, including 7 cognitive factors (security, unit characteristics, spatial reputation, individual and environmental characteristics, physical attractiveness, and social interaction), 2 affective factors (feeling toward physical dimension and feeling toward residents), and 2 behavioral factors (social distance and situational behavior). Descriptive analysis may show that the attitude toward LIH is negative in Iran. Among them, physical factors related to the environment and building have the lowest scores. Thus, it is necessary to pay more attention to the reduction of LIH stigma with more interventions in the physical aspect. The regression test showed the highest correlation between the “social distance” and “feeling toward physical aspects,” whereas the highest correlation was observed between the “situational behavior” and “feeling toward residents”. It means outsiders are further influenced by physical factors when making distance-related decisions. When they are in a situation with exposure to these housings, their feelings toward the residents are more important and are reflected.
