REGENERATING RUN-DOWN PUBLIC HOUSING
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 1999 1:25 am
As a teacher with some SD experience, and a personal
interest in the problem outlined below, Id appreciate any
constructive suggestions re
1) Previous efforts to model the degeneration and/or regeneration of
public housing, at the estate ("project") level
2) Advice on whether to aim for a single model, or to try a set of
linked sub-models (e.g., physical condition of housing, residents
characteristics/evolution, local govt funding/management . . )
The reference mode Im currently considering is a Quality of
Life index, from the residents viewpoint.
JWFs "Urban Dynamics" seems to be at too broad a level for my
purposes. Im aiming to get a handle on the main factors of
degeneration, over a period of a few decades, and regeneration over
perhaps a decade, in order to investigate leverage points, for one
specific housing estate - especially the balance between putting
resources/effort into material regeneration vs regeneration of the
social fabric.
Any suggestions gratefully received
