For the past two decades the United States has been transforming distressed public housing communities, with three ambitious goals: replace distressed developments with healthy mixed-income communities; help residents relocate to affordable housing, often in the private market; and empower former public housing families toward economic self-sufficiency. The transformation has focused on deconcentrating poverty, but not on the underlying role of racial segregation in creating these distressed communities. In Public Housing and the Legacy of Segregation, scholars and public housing officials assess whether--and how--public housing policies can simultaneously address the problems of poverty and race.

In the coming years there will be a need to revisit the question of public housing in general and dealing with existing housing projects in particular. This thesis attempts to provide a new approach to the redesign of existing projects. This new approach will be applied to the Mission Hill Main housing project and surrounding area. The main ideas behind the thesis are, that any attempts at redesigning existing projects should be done, with the goal of integrating the public housing with its surroundings at both the urban and site scales. Also an effort should be made to provide clearly defined zones of public, semipublic, and private spaces throughout the project. Socio-economic issues and the future demographics of the public housing as well as the surroundings, should also be addressed as part of the redesign of the units and the programming of the buildings in and around the site. A new urban plan for the area around the Mission Hill Main housing project will be discussed in chapter 2. Chapter 3 will deal with the housing project at the site scale. Chapter 4 will look at a block on the site in more detail, as well as some proposed unit types. Due to the wide scope of this thesis and the limited time available there will only be a perfunctory discussion on the history and theory of public housing provided in the introductory chapter.

Housing, Urban Renewal and Socio-Spatial Integration available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This issue of A+BE addresses two critical urban issues China faces today: housing and urban renewal. In the recent two decades, the Chinese urban housing stock underwent a significant, if not extreme, transformation. From 1949 to 1998, the urban housing stock in China largely depended on the public sector, and a large amount of public housing areas were developed under the socialistic public housing system in Beijing and other Chinese cities. Yet in 1998, a radical housing reform stopped this housing system. Thus, most of the public housing stock was privatized and the urban housing provision was conferred to the market. The radical housing privatization and marketization did not really resolve but intensified the housing problem. Along with the high-speed urbanization, the alienated, capitalized and speculative housing stock caused a series of social and spatial problems. The Chinese government therefore attempted to reestablish the social housing system in 2007. However, the unbalanced structure of the Chinese urban housing stock has not been considerably optimized and the housing problem is still one of the most critical challenges in China.
