“…Besides, the overall level of both dwelling and neighborhood satisfaction was rather high. For the interpretation of these results, it is crucial to note that they concern The Netherlands, a country that offers displaced residents a favorable climate in which to find a new dwelling (Posthumus, Bolt, & van Kempen, ). The country's social‐rented housing sector is large, and its displaced residents have strong rights and receive adequate counseling.…”

Urban restructuring is changing the face of many Western European cities. Old, relatively cheap dwellings are being demolished and replaced by new, more expensive ones. The spatial effects of this process have been extensively studied, but little is known about the residents who are forced to relocate so that their dwellings can be demolished or updated. We therefore studied how satisfied forced movers are with their current housing situation, and what factors contribute to this. Using data from four Dutch cities, we found that most displaced residents were quite satisfied with their new dwellings and neighborhoods. However, those with low incomes and those from ethnic minority groups were less satisfied with their homes and neighborhoods. We can explain their lower level of neighborhood satisfaction by the fact that they move to less desirable neighborhoods—for example, neighborhoods with higher concentrations of ethnic minorities.

“…Relocatees in the US found improvement mostly related to the level of economic mix of the neighbourhood; Dutch relocatees also moved to neighbourhoods with slightly less ethnic minorities. Dutch relocatees have a wider choice of available social housing and are therefore less constrained than American relocatees (Posthumus et al 2013b). These findings are however not very surprising since the quality of their original housing was limited, and their neighbourhood contained the highest shares of non-Western immigrants, among the lowest income levels and a very large proportion of the housing stock being social rent.…”

Over the past decade, urban restructuring of segregated neighbourhoods has transformed many urban districts, in the Netherlands and elsewhere; middle class households have entered neighbourhoods which were previously inhabited by lower class. Some argue that this influx of middle-class has happened at the expense of the displaced original population. We investigated this process of (forced) relocation from restructured neighbourhoods. In contrast with earlier studies, individual level data has been provided directly by one of the Amsterdam housing associations involved in this process. This offered the opportunity to analyse population data, not a sample, of all relocatees from four particular urban restructuring projects in Amsterdam. We investigated location preferences before relocation as well as actual residential location behaviour per household and relocatee type, and compared characteristics of their old and new dwellings and neighbourhoods. One of the findings is that forced relocation often parallels preferences expressed by the displaced.

“…La priorité étant accordée à la démolition des ensembles où se concentrent les habitants particulièrement défavorisés, la part des plus démunis a quelque peu reculé dans les quartiers rénovés par rapport aux quartiers comparables n'ayant pas fait l'objet d'une rénovation (Guyon, 2016). Toutefois, l'expérience des démolitions en France et dans d'autres pays donne à penser que les ménages déplacés finissent souvent par s'installer dans d'autres quartiers pauvres (Posthumus et al, 2013), tandis qu'elles accélèrent le départ des occupants un peu plus aisés (Lelevrier, 2013a). Le fait de contraindre les ménages à quitter leur logement peut provoquer une rupture du lien social (Clampet-Lundquist, 2007).…”
