Neighbourhood research in the Global South
The subfield within urban studies of neighbourhood research is largely known to be the domain of scholars from the Global North. How the subfield has been studied in the Global South is not well understood in the present literature. This study aims to characterize the field in the Global South using bibliometric analysis in order to understand the scholarship terrain. The paper analyses the publication trend, the extent of collaboration between r…
Is there a place for place in educational attainment policy
This paper aims to examine the case for a focus on place-based drivers of inequalities in educational attainment among secondary school students in Scotland. Using desk-based sources, it provides an account of the post-2015 policy episode around improving educational attainment among children from disadvantaged areas. This started with the Scottish Government claiming that its ‘defining mission’ was to ‘close the gap’ but the place-based focus of…

The (Re)Making of Polycentricity in China's Planning Discourse
Polycentricity is promoted as an ideal urban form to achieve sustainable and balanced development, and it has been widely adopted by planners in China, especially in large cities. However, the rhetoric about polycentricity has rarely been interrogated in planning research in terms of scales, contextuality, power and rationality. To fill this gap, we carried out a Foucauldian discourse analysis in our research to interpret the nature of polycentri…

Transforming Glasgow
Transforming Glasgow
Some 30 years after Glasgow turned towards regeneration, indicators of its built environment, its health, its economic performance and its quality of life remain below UK averages. This interdisciplinary study examines the ongoing transformation of Glasgow as it transitioned from a de-industrial to a post-industrial city during the 20th and 21st centuries. Looking at the diverse issues of urban policy, regeneration and economic and social change,…

Sustainable, Healthy and Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods
This prologue establishes the case for comparative study of urban neighbourhoods in cities in the developing countries in Asia and Africa to help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We first outline the debates about sustainable development and sustainable cities. We then discuss the urgent nee for comparative and multi-disciplinary research on the internal physical and socio-economic structures of cities and sustainable issues at the n…

Imagined communities? Contextualizing claims about the White working class
The authors of ‘Community, Virtue and the White British Poor’ argue that poor White communities can still organize themselves to protect their interests and, therefore, produce ‘virtue’ – good and admirable qualities among their members. This response suggests that the argument is poorly founded both in terms of its understanding of the White British poor and in terms of its conceptualization of socio-spatial processes in poor communities and esp…
Shaped by place? Young people's aspirations in disadvantaged neighbourhoods
This paper aims to better understand the relationship between young people's aspirations towards education and jobs, and the context in which they are formed, especially to understand better the role of disadvantaged places in shaping young people's aspirations. Policy makers maintain that disadvantaged areas are associated with low aspirations and there is support for this position from academic work on neighbourhood effects and local labour mar…
Young people and violent territorial conflict
This paper strives to explain the enactment and persistence of violent territorial conflict between groups of young people (predominantly young men) from neighbourhoods of multiple disadvantage. Young people clearly recognise that participating in violent territorial conflict risks severe injury, restricted mobility and criminalisation. So what are these young people fighting for? Drawing on the findings of an empirical study of young people and …
Invisible Walls and Visible Youth
This paper explores how young people experience territoriality in six British cities. It challenges the prevailing view within existing literature that young people derive important benefits from their ability to shape their identities by occupying public spaces. The paper is based on an exploratory study using semi-structured interviews, focus groups and cognitive mapping with young people. The origins, motivations and impacts of territoriality …
Can Community-Based Interventions on Aspirations Raise Young People's Attainment
Against the background of the ‘Inspiring Communities’ programme to raise ‘community-level’ educational aspirations in England, this article considers whether the existing evidence about place and aspirations suggests that it will be beneficial. We address three questions: Do neighbourhoods have an influence on educational attainment? Are ‘community level’ aspirations a mechanism by which neighbourhoods affect individual aspirations? Is there evid…

Housing aspirations and obsolescence
Policies and Programmes for Disadvantaged Neighbourhoods
This paper sets out to review to what extent policies aimed at improving the quality of ‘council-built’ neighbourhoods achieved their objectives in the period 1975–2000, and the relevance of the experience for current policy. It discusses the main approaches to and diagnoses of problem estates, including the failure of the welfare state, the absence of enterprise, the failure of housing management, ‘housing is not enough’ and ‘effort fragmentatio…
Having it All? Housing Reform Under Devolution
This paper aims to make an assessment of housing reform in Scotland since devolution in 1999. It is not concerned with a detailed analysis of any one particular policy but instead looks at whether housing reform is likely to contribute successfully to its own high level goals, which are identified as social justice, social cohesion, economic competitiveness and the empowerment of citizens and communities. It proceeds by examining those goals and …
Opportunities and Despair, it's all in there
This article looks at perceptions of the link between residential location and life chances. The idea of 'area effects' suggests that people's prospects for social engagement and economic activity are related to the neighbourhood where they live. It permeates social and urban policy as well as theories of deprivation and social exclusion. However, while quantitative evidence on area effects has begun to suggest that such a link exists, there has …

Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution? Social Housing Allocation Policies and Social Exclusion in Britain
This article examines claims that social housing allocations policies can, on the one hand, contribute to and on the other, counter, social exclusion. In setting the scene, the paper investigates connections between housing processes and social exclusion and describes the development of social housing allocations systems over the past few decades. Drawing on evidence from two recently completed national studies in England and Scotland it shows th…
Disentangling Area Effects
This paper focuses on the question of whether it is worse to be poor in a poor area or in an area which is more socially mixed; in short, does living in a deprived area compound the disadvantage experienced by its residents, and do area effects contribute to social exclusion? The idea of social areas having direct or mediated effects on the lives of their residents continues to interest and challenge academic and policy debates on the effect of c…
Community-based Housing Organisations and the Local Governance Debate
This paper examines criticisms of the accountability of housing organisations in Britain and assesses whether community-based housing organisations can provide answers. A particular focus is placed on the Committee on Standards in Public Life, which has emphasised the desirability of 'downwards' accountability to communities while at the same time limiting the central controls of autonomous local bodies. The Committee on Standards in Public Life …

Owner-occupation, social mix and neighbourhood impacts
English There is interest within the social exclusion debate about the extent to which people in deprived social housing estates are socially isolated and their material disadvantages reinforced by exclusion from job opportunities and inward-looking and negative social norms. One approach to this problem has been the introduction of a social mix through the development of new housing for owneroccupation. Through interviews with and diaries kept b…

Rationing, Choice and Constraint
Social segregation in public housing has usually been explained in institutional terms by reference to the policies and practices of the local authority. This paper draws on data from a household survey of new council tenants in Glasgow to demonstrate that the outcome of the rationing process cannot be attributed to factors originating at the level of the institution alone. The research examines stages of the allocation process, in particular the…

Direct Democracy in Practice
This paper evaluates the achievement of ‘direct democracy’ in Community Ownership schemes. Community Ownership is a programme in Scotland to create small, community-based housing associations and cooperatives in areas of former council housing. The paper reviews four different views of direct democracy: as a form of radical politics; as a means of encouraging better or more rational decision making; as a method of rolling back the state, improvin…

Individual Self-provision and the Scottish Housing System
This paper provides a preliminary examination of individual self-provision of housing in Scotland; that is, instances where individuals are directly involved in the production of their own house, rather than buying a house on the market. After a brief overview of the history of individual self-provision in Britain, the characteristics of the sector in Britain, and particularly in Scotland, are outlined. The core of the paper reports the results o…
Allocation Systems and Housing Choice
This article examines the major approach to the study of allocation in British public housing, i.e. the institutional approach. It argues that the approach is unsatisfactory because it ignores factors which originate from outside of the institutional context and also the interaction between the individual household and the institution. These drawbacks can be remedied by focusing on the choices facing households, by using household choice models s…
Youth involvement in urban regeneration
English This article reviews the nature and effectiveness of youth involvement in urban regeneration. Drawing on the findings of a substantial UK-wide study, it highlights the limited achievements of youth participation in urban regeneration thus far and the profound difficulties involved in promoting youth empowerment. However, it argues that there are important lessons to be learned about the future direction of youth participation in urban reg…

Community Ownership and the Break-up of Council Housing in Britain
This article provides an assessment of the Community Ownership programme in Scotland, which involved the transfer of council housing to par-value co-operatives and community-based housing associations. The evaluation is considered under four headings: resident involvement; the effectiveness of housing management; neighbourhood impacts; and financial appraisal. The findings lend support to the government's programme of breaking up council housing,…

Whose partnership? Community interests in the regeneration of a Scottish housing scheme
Urban Partnerships are multi‐agency projects led by central government in Scotland intended to regenerate run‐down and deprived housing estates. They are multi‐sectoral projects but a large part of their agenda concerns housing. The Partnerships are explicitly based on the principle of resident involvement, taking lessons from previous projects. This paper examines one Partnership area, Ferguslie Park in Paisley where there had been a long tradit…
Housing Choice and Search Strategies within an Administered Housing System
In this paper findings are presented concerning the behaviour of households moving into and within the public-housing sector in a major British city. In contrast to most research on the public sector, the approach adopted is explicitly derived from theories and studies of housing choice and search. Data from an extensive household survey of new council tenants are used to demonstrate that households undertake a range of search strategies which ar…

Co-operative Ownership of Former Council Housing
A new consensus seems to be emerging that many of the problems of council housing in Britain can be overcome by devolving the management and sometimes the ownership of the housing to co-operatives. In this article an assessment is made of the evidence for this view and a pioneering example of the establishment of co-operatives in former council housing in Glasgow is described. It is concluded that the success of such schemes will depend on their …

Importing housing policy
Aspects of housing policy are often seen to be transferable across national boundaries, even though the economic and political contexts are different. This paper examines co‐ownership, a policy initiative which was imported to Britain from Scandinavia in the 1960s and which had a short and problematic life. It analyses the reasons for the failure of co‐ownership in Britain but suggests that it may be possible to establish new forms of co‐operativ…
