Urban renewal was originally conceived as a means reinvigorating inner city districts hollowed out by the deindustrialisation of the late 20th century. While investment in troubled neighbourhoods may appear to be an uncomplicated “good idea”, very often such schemes result in the displacement of the communities they were intended to help.

“In the Netherlands, we have a 30% social housing requirement: you cannot build a new residential building without creating social housing,” says Minouche Besters - Stipo in Netherlands
"With every building that we design, we can improve the situation for local people. It’s very important that everyone of us claims this right for our communities." Bahanur Nasya - Project Manager, PlaceCity
Panelists:
