“…Escafré-Dublet et al (2014) conclude, in a literature review, that social mixing strategies have not reversed ‘the concentration and impoverishment of immigrants in deprived neighbourhoods’. Korsu (2016) reaches a similar verdict on the failure of these strategies in Paris and Lyon, and Kantor et al (2012: 172) note that the east–west gap, between the poorer and wealthier parts of the greater Paris area, had actually increased. The PNRU was renewed for 2015–20 but with reduced funding.…”

Explaining reforms: post-New Public Management myths or political realities? Social housing delivery in England and France

This article examines the assumption that recent reforms in social and public services can be understood as a transition from New Public Management to post-New Public Management. English and French social housing delivery are selected as two cases in which to test out this assumption, for ostensibly these delivery structures share significant cross-national, post-NPM similarities – a movement towards a more ‘enabling’ or steering role for central government, the creation of coordinating agencies, ‘decentralization’ initiatives, the extensive use of public–private arrangements to finance social housing and the involvement of a wide range of extra- and semi-governmental organizations. However, further investigation reveals that these reforms of delivery structures have not been predominantly driven by an unfolding post-NPM managerial or governance logic as the thesis assumes. Rather the reforms have been driven by the partisan electoral and ideological goals of central government policymakers within the context of institutional legacies and entrenched social values. Points for practitioners New Public Management and post-New Public Management have become the conventional wisdom on administrative reforms particularly in a comparative context. This article argues that these ideas reflect an impoverished understanding of public administration given that they assume that change occurs predominantly through the unfolding of managerial and/or governance logics. These logics exclude the critical role of the political parties and other socio-political factors, such as urban unrest, in driving change. This Anglo-French analysis of social housing delivery demonstrates the significance of these political factors in how policymakers define social problems, re-design and implement social housing service delivery systems.

“…However, the practice might best address the goals of economic desegregation and poverty alleviation that income mixing has yet to achieve. Korsu (2016) finds that social housing can indeed promote social integration, but the effects of the integration are not as high as originally expected in France.…”

“…While there are many studies that support the benefits and necessity of social housing, several authors have focused instead on the NIMBY effect and some restrictions in real-life environments (Levy et al 2013;Matthews et al 2015;Scally and Tighe 2015;Korsu 2016;Byrne and Norris 2017;Fitzpatrick and Watts 2017;Yuan et al 2017;Norris and Byrne 2018;Lau 2018). From the perspective of the NIMBY effect, Nguyen et al (2013) investigate the framing of affordable housing by opponents and responses to this framing by local housing actors in the U.S.…”

“…Furthermore, society is worried that social housing will lead to traffic congestion and decline in quality of public facilities, and might cause housing prices to fall. As a result, social housing projects are often viewed met with a "not-in-my-back-yard" (NIMBY) response (Scally and Tighe, 2015;Korsu, 2016).…”

“…and "Is there a regional difference for the attitude of the public towards social housing construction, especially in high versus low housing price cities?" Social housing has diverse functions and is often regarded as solving the housing problems of disadvantaged groups, promoting social integration and stability, improving public safety and sanitation, supporting the operation of a healthy housing market, and promoting economic development (Currie and Yelowitz, 2000;Korsu, 2016;Pareja-Eastaway and Sánchez-Martínez, 2017;Norris and Byrne, 2018). Furthermore, there are many debates on whether social housing can achieve such functions due to the practical limitations of the financial and democratic political environments (Scally and Tighe, 2015;Byrne and Norris, 2017;Fitzpatrick and Watts, 2017;Yuan et al, 2017).…”

Social housing projects often face the “not-in-my-back-yard” (NIMBY) backlash from the local community who oppose and reject their construction. Considering the prevalence of NIMBY, this study examines the factors that influence the attitude of the public towards social housing construction under high home ownership rates. We conduct an ordered logistic regression analysis by using 14,275 responses from the 2015 Residential Status Survey in Taiwan. The results show some interesting findings. First, home ownership and families with a child under 18 are two of the most influential variables that have significantly negative influences on the approval of social housing construction. Renters and people with physical and mental disabilities are however more supportive of social housing. Secondly, residents in buildings with high development intensity are very supportive of the construction of social housing. Thirdly, satisfaction with neighborhood environment has a positive impact on social housing approval. Finally, residents who live in dense cities tend to support the construction of social housing. However, residents who live in satellite cities of a metropolitan region are less supportive. The results of this study reveal a regional difference in the approval of residents for social housing construction.
