“…Jefferson-Jones 2015; Saulwick 2016), presenting policy makers with a multitude of models to consider. Given the diverse policy options and the complexity of Australia's urban housing markets (Pawson and Herath 2015), it is critical that local policy responses are informed by contextual, place-specific analysis of Airbnb's impact. This project addresses this knowledge gap by providing a mixed-method study of Airbnb's impact on housing opportunity in private housing markets in Sydney and Melbourne.…”

“…The delimitation of "spatially disadvantaged" areas to be targeted by policy interventions has always tended to be a somewhat puzzling task. This is also reflected by the terminology, with different authors referring to locational disadvantages, geographies of disadvantage, disadvantaged places (Darcy 2007;Pawson & Herath 2015), or even "unliveable" and "most deprived" urban areas (van Gent et al 2009). Neither is there some common understanding on the criteria to be applied in delineating such areas.…”

“…Set against this background, the primary objective of this paper is to provide a better understanding of urban policy initiatives using evidence drawn from a context where such initiatives are already well-established practice. We have taken a specific look at the distribution of urban policy funds in Germany and tried to find linkages with so-called geographies of disadvantage (Pawson & Herath 2015). In so doing, we identified variables that can be used to characterise territorial structural weakness, and then employed the technique of geographically weighted regression to explore their linkages with the spatial distribution of funds from the urban development support scheme (Städtebauförderung).…”

Area-based interventions are one of the ways of addressing problems of disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods. In this paper we take the example of the German urban development support scheme (Städtebauförderung) with the purpose of determining the factors behind the spatial distribution of funds from this policy. The results show a positive association with unemployment rate, and a negative one with the dynamics of population and jobs. This suggests that the allocation of funds to a large extent resembled the distribution of structurally weak areas in Germany. Using geographically weighted regression, we found spatial differences in the goodness of fit of the model as well as in coefficients of explanatory variables. Finally, we also point out some differences between specific programmes forming part of the urban development support scheme.

The Role Innovative Housing Models Play in the Struggle against Social Exclusion in Cities: The Brisbane Common Ground Model

The history of housing in Australia is a textbook example of socio-spatial exclusion as described, defined and analysed by commentators from Mumford to Lefebvre. It has been exacerbated by a culture of home ownership that has led to an affordability crisis. An examination of the history reveals that the problems are structural and must be approached not as a practical solution to the public provision of housing, but as a reshaping of lives, a reconnection to community, and as an ethical and equitable "right to the city". This "Right to the City" has underpinned the Common Ground approach, emerging in a range of cities and adopted in South Brisbane, Queensland Australia. This paper examines the Common Ground approach and the impacts on its residents and in the community with a view to exploring further developments in this direction. A clear understanding of these lessons underpins, and should inform, a new approach to reconnecting the displaced and to developing solutions that not only enhance their lives but also the community at large.
