“…Although the housing shortage was successfully eradicated, the large housing estates were criticised by architects and planners for being large-scale, homogenous, and monotonous; in Sweden, they were described as a 'newly constructed slum' [54] and in France they were criticised for creating 'urban isolation' [49]. Furthermore, segregation patterns in both Sweden and France have been reinforced over the past two decades by a process of social and geographical polarisation [32,33] with an increasingly racialised pattern, as low-income migrants have been relegated to primarily low-status housing estates [39,56,57].…”

“…In conclusion, restructuring, privatisation, and area-based development in both Sweden and France have been criticised for failing at the goal of de-stigmatisation while leading to gentrification and the displacement of relocated households [57,64,65]. Research on social-mixing strategies through housing diversification has also highlighted limited social interaction between poor inhabitants of the neighbourhoods and newcomers, with both leading parallel lives [66].…”

Gated communities and gated housing enclaves have primarily been identified as elite spaces of privilege that support self-imposed disaffiliation and spatial and social withdrawal by the affluent. Over the past decade, however, European countries have also seen a rise of gating in large housing estates. Drawing on previous research and a comparative case study that includes interviews, observations, and mapping, this article analyses policies and practices of gating in large housing estates since 2010 in Malmö, Sweden and since 2000 in Paris, France. We argue, first, that gating is legitimised by policy arguments about ‘defensible space’, by a critique of the modernist design, and by a perceived need for diversification. Secondly, we expand the notion of urban gating and identify four types of enclosure: complete enclosure, semi-enclosure, enclosure through densification, and enclosure of parks and playgrounds. We conclude that the notion of the welfare state has changed, not only in financial terms but also as an urban form, leading to the micro-segregation of housing and land, which makes visible the social stratification within large housing estates. Gating of large housing estates thus leads to ‘enclosed communities’ rather than ‘gated communities’.

“…Residents often lack personal knowledge about community members who live in different forms of housing (e.g., Carnegie et al 2018). The association between personal knowing and housing status was supported in this study, with inhabitants describing residents of a new market rental apartment as shrouded in mystery and speculating that newcomers had adopted the city as a bedroom community.…”

Reframing Social Tectonics with the Sociology of Everyday Life: Insights from the Public Spaces of a Mixed Housing Neighbourhood

Social mix policies aim to integrate residents living in diverse forms of housing. While numerous studies have showcased the limitations of social mix in achieving this objective, explanations for this tendency remain incomplete. Accordingly, this qualitative case study adopts insights from the sociology of everyday life and interaction ritual theory to elaborate on academic understandings of (non)-interaction between disparate groups in mixed housing communities. It draws primarily from observational fieldwork and semi-structured interview data gathered in the public spaces of a transitioning mid-sized city in Ontario, Canada. The findings report how everyday encounters among and between the urban poor and wealthier residents (re)produce patterns of group solidarity and conflict. The continued application of micro-sociological perspectives to housing mix research can chronicle and perhaps mend the gaps between government housing policy objectives and the experiences of residents living within relevant legislative jurisdictions.
