REDFERN WATERLOO COMMUNITY RENEWAL FORUM Estate Renewal and Social Mix: The good, the bad and the ugly
Public housing estate renewal projects around the world aim to address disadvantage by creating more diverse communities. This is usually done by redeveloping estates to reduce the concentration of social housing and increase the numbers of private owners and renters. There is a lot of debate about whether this is the right approach to be taking, whether it works, and how to go about it.
