Municipalities around the world have increasingly used inclusionary housing programs to address their housing shortages. This book problematizes those programs in London and New York City by offering an empirical, research-based perspective on the socio-spatial dimensions of inclusionary housing approaches in both cities. The aim of those programs is to produce affordable housing and foster greater socio-economic inclusion by mandating or incentivizing private developers to include affordable housing units within their market-rate residential developments.
The starting point of this book is the so-called "poor door" practice in London and New York City, which results in mixed-income developments with separate entrances for "affordable housing" and wealthier market-rate residents. Focusing on this "poor door" practice allowed for a critical look at the housing program behind it. By exploring the relationship between inclusionary housing, new-build gentrification, and austerity urbanism, this book highlights the complexity of the planning process and the ambivalences and interdependencies of the actors involved. Thereby, it provides evidence that the provision of affordable housing or social mixing through this program has only limited success and, above all, that it promotes - in a sense through the "back door" - the very gentrification and displacement mechanisms it is supposed to counteract.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students of housing studies, planning, and urban sociology, as well as planners and policymakers who are interested in the consequences of their own housing programs.
Inhaltsverzeichnis
"Inclusionary Housing and Urban Inequality in London and New York City, provides an exemplary comparative critical analysis of how inclusionary housing policies and practices provide a 'back door' to gentrification rather than an entree to more truly affordable housing provision."
Paul Watt, Visiting Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science.
"On the basis of fine-tuned fieldwork and careful policy analysis Yuca Meubrink's book alerts us to the insidious effects of supposedly win/win inclusionary housing policy. An extremely timely and important analysis, her book should be required reading for all urban planners and anyone following or trying to change contemporary housing policy."
Ida Susser, Ph. D. Distinguished Professor, Graduate Center/City University of New York.
"Inclusionary housing is widely regarded as an effective tool for solving the housing crisis by providing affordable housing while also fostering social mix. This careful empirical study comparing new-build mixed income developments in NYC and London demonstrates expertly how and why the planning, design and 'real life' outcomes not only fall far short of the promised targets, but even accelerate gentrification and displacement."
Margit Mayer, Senior Fellow at the Center for Metropolitan Studies, Germany.
