“…Further research is needed that builds on the community engagement and good will generated here to see whether these actions can be translated into practical policy implemented in Corio, Norlane, and Whittington and what effect these may have on concentrations of socioeconomic disadvantage. Previous examples using these techniques in community wide intervention design have proven effective and have become embedded as policy positions in multiple jurisdictions [17,58,[63][64][65], although difficulties have been highlighted in implementing partnership and participation initiatives in such contexts [66]. There is also an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the community engagement process itself as well as the actions that emerged from it.…”

Within Australian cities there is significant socioeconomic disparity between communities, which is an obstacle to sustainable urban development. There is a voluminous amount research into the causes and some of the ameliorative actions to address socio-spatial disadvantage, though many studies do not localize or systematize their analyses. This paper presents the results of a co-design process conducted with community stakeholders using innovative realist inquiry and system mapping to answer the question: what are the impacts and drivers of socioeconomic and spatial disadvantage in a regional city in Victoria, Australia, and what actions might ameliorate these in three localities? Participants identified 24 separate causes and impacts of acute socioeconomic disadvantage. Using system maps, these community members developed 13 intervention ideas for action with potential to positively impact health and wellbeing, education, housing, employment, and livability, and be translatable to policy positions. The paper therefore presents a unique method of enquiry into spatial disadvantage and a grounded set of strategies for positive action.

“…To our knowledge, only three studies have investigated the regional job creating impacts of social housing redevelopment programmes. 3 Zielenbach et al (2010) and Hanka et al (2015) used economic multiplier models to analyse the employment impacts of HOPE VI investments in several cities, concluding that these effects were substantial. Their method is essentially tautological, however.…”

The effects of social housing regeneration schemes on employment: The case of the Glasgow Stock Transfer

et al. 2021

Regeneration is an internationally popular policy for improving distressed neighbourhoods dominated by large social housing developments. Stimulating employment is often touted as a secondary benefit, but this claim has rarely been evaluated convincingly. In 2003, Glasgow City Council transferred ownership of its entire social housing stock to the Glasgow Housing Association and over £4 billion was invested in physical repairs, social services and other regeneration activities. Using a linked census database of individuals (Scottish Longitudinal Study), we evaluate the causal effect of the Stock Transfer on employment in Glasgow through a quasi-experimental design that exploits idiosyncrasies and changes in Glasgow’s administrative boundaries. We find that the Stock Transfer had a positive effect on employment for Glasgow residents who were not living in transferred social housing stock. We establish that this effect was mainly accomplished through the local employment multiplier effect of capital spending rather than through any other programmatic elements of the Stock Transfer. Exploratory analysis shows heterogeneous effects: individuals who were over 21, female, living with dependent children and with less education were less likely to benefit from the intervention. We did not find significant subgroup effects by neighbourhood deprivation.

“…The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in an effort to revitalize severely distressed public housing, created the HOPE VI program. The objectives of this program were to change the physical shape of public housing, to reduce poverty concentration, to provide community services, and to develop public-private partnerships (Hanka, Gilderbloom, Meares, Khan, & Wresinski, 2015).…”
