Project description
When green is not sustainable: towards inclusive housing policies in greening neighbourhoods
Environmentally sustainable planning initiatives are growing in popularity. But they also have their downsides: especially in low-income neighbourhoods, greening projects can be the harbingers of sweeping social change — a process called 'green gentrification'. This means longtime residents are forced to move out due to changes in property values resulting from environmental improvements, while new affluent households are attracted to these areas once they are upgraded in value. The EU-funded SUSTEUS project will conduct comparative research in three redeveloped social housing areas in Berlin, London and Los Angeles and assess the socioeconomic impact of green redevelopment plans on these communities through quantitative and qualitative analyses. Its aim is to provide an evidence base for policy making and encourage the formulation of more inclusive housing policies in greening neighbourhoods.
