“…On the face of it, these findings stand in sharp contrast to the findings of our former `integrated evaluation research', according to which the Project had a significant success in improving the living conditions in its areas (Carmon and Hill, 1988 ;Carmon, 1989) . Consequently, we had to double-check our approach and methodology and to explore several arguments and counter-arguments .…”

“…working with the present population and the existing stock of housing); targeting resources at neighbourhoods in need (rather than at individuals or households) ; integrating social and physical rehabilitation ; decentralisation and resident participation ; and implementation through existing institutions (for details and for the rationale of each principle, see Carmon and Hill, 1988) . All these principles were applied in all the project neighbourhoods and all of them were offered the same kinds of additional services .…”

Project Renewal, a national programme for social and physical rehabilitation of distressed neighbourhoods, was aimed at reducing inequalities in Israeli society. This study analyses the influence of Project Renewal on the status of its target neighbourhoods, by means of a before-and-after comparison of these areas with matched control neighbourhoods. An extensive analysis of the characteristics of veteran residents, in-migrants, and out-migrants ( 200 000 households) shows that improving service provision in poor areas is not sufficient to change their status. Renovated housing and improved social services are valuable, but a neighbourhood status and its attractiveness are determined more by its reputation as a place for higher-status households than by the services it offers. Adding new housing to the old neighbourhood, after improving its services, seems to be the required breakthrough, given that the new residents are moderately better-off than the veterans. The final discussion puts the results of this and former studies of Project Renewal in a general context of welfare policy.

“…Roughly half of its signi cant budget has been devoted to social programmes, while the other half has been allocated for physical improvements, mainly housing. Project Renewal has been extensively studied and evaluated (Carmon & Hill, 1988;Alterman, 1988;Churchman, 1990;Spiro, 1991;Carmon & Baron, 1994;Carmon, 1989Carmon, , 1996Carmon, , 1999.…”

User-controlled housing is de ned as a process in which the residents-not only professionals and developers-make signi cant decisions regarding the design and the construction or renovation of their homes. This paper argues that it is relevant to and should be commonly used in formal systems of housing in the developed countries. It draws support for its arguments from empirical evidence, primarily from Israel and the Netherlands. Much of the evidence is related to housing upgrading by moderate-income and middle-income households, which was found to be highly desirable from individual and public points of view. The paper recommends to decision-makers and planners to facilitate user-controlled housing and to make it an ordinary part of developing new neighbourhoods and renovating old ones.

“…One half of its large budget was devoted to social programs, while the other portion was designated to physical improvements, primarily housing. It has been extensively researched and evaluated (Alterman, 1988;Carmon, 1989Carmon, , 1996Carmon & Baron, 1994;Carmon & Hill, 1988;Churchman, 1990;Spiro, 1991). 3.…”
