Understanding social housing tenants' rent payment behaviour
The Governments of many Western countries have been increasingly concerned with influencing the behaviour of their citizens. One way that they have done this is by giving them new responsibilities. In the UK, an example of this is ‘direct payment' which sees social housing tenants in receipt of income-related housing allowance (‘Housing Benefit') assuming responsibility for paying their rent. Drawing on a comprehensive data-set generated by the d…
The affordability of “affordable” housing in England
Contemporary debates around affordability have largely focused on homeownership and private renting. This article considers the affordable social rented sector in England, in which reforms to social welfare assistance, reduced security of tenure, and a shift towards midmarket rents, are changing access to ‘affordable’ housing for those on the lowest incomes. \nDrawing on in-depth interviews with housing associations and stakeholders, the article …
A Flawed Construct? Understanding and Unpicking the Concept of Resilience in the Context of Economic Hardship
Increasingly, the construct of resilience has been used by social scientists and (social) policy makers in relation to individual resilience to economic hardship. There are a number of issues within the literature on the subject that are unresolved including: whether it is an attribute or a process; the extent to which resilience is a positive phenomenon; the extent to which individuals living in economic hardship have agency; and whether it is f…
The impact of the direct payment of housing benefit
In recent years, a number of welfare reforms have been introduced in the UK by Conservative-led governments. The most high profile of these is Universal Credit (UC), which is currently being rolled out across the country. A key feature of UC is a change in the way the income-related housing allowance for social housing tenants (Housing Benefit) is administered, as under UC, it is paid directly to tenants (direct payment), who are responsible for …

Resident Participation in Housing Regeneration in France
The involvement of local residents in housing regeneration policy and practice has become a ‘new orthodoxy’ across Western Europe. This paper considers the experience of France, a country noted for its history of ‘third sector’ activism and innovative practice in, for example, neighbourhood management. It is argued here that—notwithstanding three decades of central government rhetoric and exhortation—there remain few examples of genuine involveme…
Professions, Occupational Roles and Skills in Urban Policy
The past few years have seen a proliferation of skills analysis in urban regeneration in England. In France, in contrast, researchers have linked questions of skills to the styles and form of public-sector work. This paper reworks the debates in the two countries to provide a comparative analysis of neighbourhood management. There are three main sections and themes: the implications of a bottom—up perspective in the study of policy implementation…
Approaches to Tenant Participation in the English Local Authority Sector
This paper examines how approaches to tenant participation evolved in the English local authority housing sector in the 1990s. It does so by examining data gleaned from two national studies of tenant participation activity conducted by teams based at Glasgow and Sheffield Hallam universities, with particular attention focusing on data derived from nine case studies undertaken as part of the latter study. In order to facilitate this analysis, refe…
Transforming Social Housing
The last 10 years has been a period of rapid change in the social rented sector, reflecting broader changes in the nature of housing problems, structures of housing provision and patterns of housing consumption in the UK, rooted in fundamental shifts in the political, economic and social landscape. By way of introduction to this special issue, this paper cuts across conventional frameworks of analysis to explore the pressures and challenges raise…
Towards a regional strategy for the North of England? An assessment of ‘The Northern Way’
GOODCHILD B. and HICKMAN P. (2006) Towards a regional strategy for the north of England? An assessment of ‘The Northern Way’, Regional Studies 40, 121–133. The ‘Northern Way’ is an innovative programme of policy development that seeks to combine, at a supra-regional level, spatial planning, housing and transport in an attempt to promote economic growth in the north of England. The experience of The Northern Way draws attention to ‘deconcentration…
Are Housing Organisations becoming Learning Organisations? Some Lessons from the Management of Tenant Participation
This paper deals with the links between organisational development in social housing organisations and tenant participation, and asks whether social housing organisations through such practices can be said to be adopting some of the features of 'learning organisations'. It discusses the ways in which tenant participation arrangements, in addition to providing opportunities for tenants to influence organisational decision making, potentially serve…
Neighbourhood Renewal and Urban Policy
This article seeks to re-animate the Anglo-French debate on neighbourhood renewal and urban policy that characterized the mid 1990s. This is appropriate given the apparent similarities between the recent approaches adopted in the two countries. The common challenge is integration: reconciling the territorial problems of diverse places with the functional organization of the principal actors. This has led to a partnership approach (National Strate…
