Affordable Housing Plans in London and New York: Between Marketplace and Social Mix
The article reviews and critically analyzes contemporary housing policies and plans in London and New York in the context of neoliberal urban governance. In both cities, we find severe housing affordability problems, an increasing dependence on market provision of affordable housing, and a gradual shift from supporting low- and moderate-income residents to promoting housing for households around and above the median income. Affordable housing pla…

In this article, I present a historical overview of neighborhood regeneration programs, concentrating on the United States and the United Kingdom while also presenting programs in other Western countries and in Israel.

Reducing Inequality by Means of Neighbourhood Rehabilitation: An Israeli Experiment and its Lessons
Project Renewal, a national programme for social and physical rehabilitation of distressed neighbourhoods, was aimed at reducing inequalities in Israeli society. This study analyses the influence of Project Renewal on the status of its target neighbourhoods, by means of a before-and-after comparison of these areas with matched control neighbourhoods. An extensive analysis of the characteristics of veteran residents, in-migrants, and out-migrants …
Achieving Population Dispersal through Tailor-Made Community Planning: An Israeli Experiment in the Galilee Region
Public programs for population dispersal are usually based on macro approaches to economic development in the target area. Such programs have failed to reach their goals in many countries, and, therefore, there is a demand for knowledge regarding alternative forms of intervention. In this paper an innovative micro approach is suggested, the principles of which are based on findings reported in the economic and sociological literature on individua…
Housing renovation in moderately deteriorated neighbourhoods: Public‐individual partnership in Israel and its lessons
Decent housing for every citizen is a dearly held goal in every society, but one which below‐average‐income households have frequently been unable to reach. Often, the problem is not the availability of housing, but the poor condition of the existing housing stock that serves low‐ and moderate‐income families. An Israeli experience with public‐individual partnership for renovating houses of moderate‐income households is described in this paper, e…
Improving Housing by Conventional Versus Self-help Methods: Evidence From Israel
The study compares the two major processes of improving housing conditions for moderate- and low-income households in Israel: the institutional solution - relocating eligible households in new public housing; and the spontaneous self-help solution - households who purchase their housing units from a housing management company, improve and enlarge them on their own initiative and with their own resources, with or without the assistance of a public…

Poverty and Culture: Empirical Evidence and Implications for Public Policy
Oscar Lewis's theory of the 'culture of poverty' was investigated by interviewing a population of poor young Israelis and their parents. Both the model-that is, the claim that poverty traits and norms in the four spheres of life (individual, familial, communal, and societal) appear simultaneously-and the cultural explanation of the continuity of poverty were rejected. Instead, the situational explanation is supported, according to which the poor …

Housing Policy as a Tool of Social Policy
Social Planning of Housing
A planner should be aware of alternative social goals of housing planning. For example: to encourage frequent contacts and manifest neighbourliness, or to plan for maximum privacy; to strive for ethnic integration through ethnically mixed housing or to let people live close to those who resemble themselves, as they usually prefer. The selection of social goals involves value judgements, but opinions differ about the question of whose values shoul…
