On the Stickiness of Territorial Stigma: Diverging Experiences in Amsterdam’s Most Notorious Neighbourhood
In Western Europe, a select number of “ghettos” are at the forefront of public anxieties about urban inequality and failed integration.

This article identifies to what extent housing policies aim to go beyond managing shrinkage and instead address housing needs of curr…
