Listen to What We Have to Say”
There is an important body of research that explores the contested understandings of urban regeneration programmes in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.

This supplier-generated precarity is the outcome of flawed policy assumptions and exp…

This article employs two tranches of qualitative research conducted in 1997–1998 and 2007–2009 on five low income social housing estates in three Irish cities to explore the trajectories they followed in terms of their ability to attract and retain residents. Four factors are identified as particularly significant in this regard: social order and disorder, community cohesion, neighbourhood life cycle and institutional strategies and capacities. W…
