Theories of Neighbourhood Change and Decline: Their Significance for Post-WWII Large Housing Estates in European Cities

  • Chapter

Abstract

Only since the beginning of the 1990s has research attention for post-WWII large housing areas started systematically. On the one hand, this has to do with the fact that in the 1970s and 1980s the older (pre-war) neighbourhoods in European cities were subject to processes of regeneration and gentrification, which resulted in physical, social and economic improvement of many of these areas. On the other hand, because of the declining physical quality, and because of massive population changes in the post-WWII areas (low-income and often migrant households were forced to migrate to these areas, because the older areas were renovated or gentrified and had become too expensive for them), these parts of the cities underwent radical changes. They very quickly, and sometimes unexpectedly, became the most important housing areas for low-income households in a large number of European cities.
