Displacement and estate demolition: multi-scalar place attachment among relocated social housing residents in London

Abstract: The forced relocation-displacement-of social housing residents resulting from estate regeneration involving demolition has been the subject of considerable academic and policy debate. While some scholars and policy makers regard such displacement as having harmful outcomes in relation to loss of homes and community relations, others argue that residents benefit from relocation as they move to 'better places'. This paper contributes to this debate, and to the wider 'post-displacement' research agenda, by provid… Show more

“…These organizations and events are all aimed at increasing interaction between residents and RCs. The loss of neighbourly relations through (re)development is often regarded as a key sign of displacement and considered irreversible social damage (Atkinson, 2015; Liu et al ., 2017; Wallace, 2020; Watt, 2021). Yet state‐led community building has revealed that neighbourly interactions play a key role in rebuilding communities, while RCs regard such interactions as building residents’ sense of belonging and stimulating community participation.…”

“…State‐led resettlements, which are particularly prevalent in the fast‐developing global South, are interpreted as a form of displacement that distinguishes itself owing to the speed and the large scale at which it is executed, but otherwise share the same features as other forms of displacement such as gentrification (Elliott‐Cooper et al ., 2020; Hamnett, 2020). Displacement studies have been integral to understanding the consequences of urban (re)development, but there is growing evidence that signals the need for alternative analytical pursuits that move beyond the singular moment of physical uprooting, to focus on the post‐displacement struggles of residents (Wallace, 2020; Wang, 2020; Watt, 2021). Large‐scale rehousing programmes in very different sociopolitical contexts, including the United States (Popkin et al ., 2009), the Netherlands (Kleinhans and Kearns, 2013), South Africa (Meth and Buthelezi, 2017; Meth et al ., 2019), India (Patel, 2016) and China (Wilmsen, 2016; Jiang et al ., 2018; Zhang et al ., 2018), present both the problems and benefits of state‐led relocation schemes that cannot be encapsulated in the framework of displacement.…”

“…Neticede neoliberal kent politikalarının etkin araçlarla devreye sokulması geniş ölçekli konut yıkımı, karma gelirli mahalleler oluşturma stratejileri gibi farklı politikaların soylulaştırma süreçleriyle beraber anılmasını getirmiştir. Özellikle eleştirel kent bilimciler devlet öncülüğünde soylulaştırma (Watt, 2018), üçüncü dalga soylulaştırma (Hackworth & Smith, 2001) gibi farklı kavramsal önermelerle yakın dönemdeki soylulaştırma çalışmalarındaki yerinden edilme süreçlerinin belirginleştiğine dair aktarımlarda bulunmuşlardır (Slater, 2012;Ünsal, 2015;Lees & Ferreri, 2016;Watt, 2021).…”

“…Although the framework of displacement has been critical in understanding the negative impacts of resettlement, a growing number of studies argue that the struggles of residents continue well beyond the singular moment of physical uprooting (Leitner et al, 2022;Lombard et al, 2021;Meth et al, 2022;Wallace, 2020;Wang, 2020Wang, , 2022Watt, 2022).…”
