“…When considering disposition strategies for excess land, local governments can work with CLTs to identify sites with the greatest potential. For example, providing land in high-cost central areas or transit-oriented neighborhoods may be effective not only in facilitating accessibility but also in increasing the potential for home equity growth (Manweller 2020).…”

“…A series of papers focusing on the preservation of affordable housing primarily in Washington, DC, (Howell 2016a(Howell , 2016b(Howell , 2018 but also in Chicago, IL and Austin, TX (Howell, Mueller, and Wilson 2019), examine the importance of interaction among different stakeholders-government entities, affordable housing advocates, and grassroots organizations-in facilitating the preservation and preventing displacement of low-income households. These studies emphasize that effective strategies require the collaboration of multiple city-and stateagencies, deep knowledge of local contexts, and availability of flexible policies and funding sources.…”

Residential displacement impacts the quality of life, health, and economic outlook for households. Yet, there is little evidence on how housing policy works to prevent displacement. This literature review examines how 12 housing policies, encompassing household/neighborhood stabilization, affordable housing preservation, and housing production, mitigate displacement. We conclude that stabilization strategies have the most direct and immediate effect on mitigating direct displacement, while housing production and preservation strategies can decrease indirect and/or exclusionary displacement. However, production policies typically require strong markets and longer time spans. Though more research is needed, local governments can still leverage housing policies to prevent displacement.

“…As tightening housing markets become more widespread, local governments should consider moving beyond the most commonly implemented policies such as inclusionary zoning, which have produced minimal amounts of affordable housing and are unlikely to serve as effective mitigators of increasing housing costs (Freeman and Schuetz 2016). Bolder strategies that embrace affordable housing development and ensure community members and housing advocates are given a meaningful voice in neighborhood housing development processes (Howell 2016) offer a promising alternative.…”

Where Do They Go? The Destinations of Residents Moving from Gentrifying Neighborhoods

The fate of residents living in gentrifying neighborhoods remains an important yet little understood outcome of the gentrification process. In this study, we assess the effects of gentrification on mobility patterns using the geocoded version of the panel study of income dynamics (PSID), a nationally representative longitudinal survey of households. While many studies examine whether residents move from gentrifying neighborhoods, few study their destinations. We utilize PSID data from 2001 to 2017 to identify each respondent's census tract and characteristics of the tract to which they moved. We find little difference in the socioeconomic status or access to the urban core of the destination neighborhoods of residents originating in gentrifying neighborhoods compared to the destination neighborhoods of residents originating in nongentrifying neighborhoods. Our findings inform debates on whether residents of gentrifying neighborhoods are pushed out of central cities and into worse neighborhoods than residents of other low-income neighborhoods.

“…Social crises develop through demographic dynamics and exogenous disruptions (e.g. armed conflicts), escalating as segregation, gentrification (Howell, 2016;Unceta et al, 2020), and housing crises (Lima, 2021). Even though pandemics are often labelled as health crises, they are noted also as social crises as they can highlight and amplify social inequalities (Haase, 2020).…”

With continuing urbanisation, real estate (RE) has become increasingly important in crisis management. The field of crisis research is still fragmented, especially in the RE context and focuses on the retrospective analysis of single crisis events. This qualitative, futures studies–based paper aims to build a more holistic, foresight-driven understanding of how diverse crises affect RE. It identifies 128 possible future crises from a societal perspective and adopts a novel method in the field, the Futures Wheel, to collect the views of 179 practicing and academic experts via 58 multidisciplinary workshops to analyse the impacts of the identified crises. From this analysis emerged the Crisis Impact Framework for Real Estate, which includes 23 impact themes that synthesise the variety of direct and indirect crisis impacts on RE’s hard elements (e.g. the physical condition of materials) and soft elements (e.g. economic value changes). This study contributes an integrated and foresight-driven perspective to the existing research literature. The framework can assist RE market participants in preparing and assessing critical elements of RE before, during and after crisis impacts have manifested and can help spatial planners, investors and RE managers to reflect in a more multidimensional manner on their vulnerabilities and crisis preparedness.
