Produktbeschreibung

All over Europe, post Second World War large-scale housing estates face physical, economic, social, and cultural problems. This book presents the key findings of a major EU-funded research program into the restructuring of twenty-nine large-scale housing estates throughout Europe. While existing literature focuses on the negative aspects of large-scale housing estates, this book starts from the premise that the estates can be transformed into attractive places to live and focuses on the possibilities of sustainability and renewal through social, physical and policy action. Restructuring Large-Scale Housing Estates in Europe examines which policy objectives, measures, and processes have had the greatest impact; assesses and compares a wide range of local, regional and national initiatives; and provides good practice guidance for neighborhood sustainability and renewal.
