Folder Social Mix - Will it solve the problems? by REDWatch, last updated: Aug 03, 2010 01:28 PM
Improving 'social mix' is at the heart of NSW Government plans for Redfern Waterloo. Worldwide there have been many attempts to implement a better 'social mix' through the redevelopment of public housing estates. In Melbourne in 2010 a trumpeted development to improve 'social mix' in an inner city housing estate looks like it might lead to a wall to protect private housing amenity from the adjoining public tenants after the redevelopment. Here we have bought together some of the research and issues that will need to be addressed if an engineered improved housing mix is going to lead to improved outcomes for public tenants as well as the new residents in Redfern and Waterloo. The documents include papers given to the Shelter Conference ‘Estates in the balance’, relevant media articles and opinion pieces that open up some of the issues that need to be addressed. Thanks to Ross Smith for suppling much of the material.

Many of the questions give a good overview of the concerns of participants and many apply also to Redfern and Waterloo issues even when asked about other locations. Such questions will need to be addressed in the planning for the redevelopment of public housing estates in Redfern and Waterloo.
