“…During the process of UR, grievances over damaged interests often become the core expression of demands [62]. When stakeholders, especially vulnerable groups such as displaced families, affected residents, and tenants, perceive social inequality or negative impacts on their interests, they commonly resort to actions expressing their interests [10]. For instance, if families displaced by UR activities do not receive adequate compensation, they may file lawsuits against the government to voice their demands [63].…”

“…UR goes beyond the mere construction and sale stages of real estate projects; it entails processes such as relocation, repurchasing, transformation, reconstruction, and resettlement of residents [5]. As secondary development projects with established residential neighborhoods nearby, areas earmarked for renewal often suffer from disarrayed layouts, inadequate supporting infrastructure, deterioration of sanitation conditions, disaster preparedness, and environmental quality, and a high-density population-comprising a significant number of migrants-with low educational attainment, limited adaptability to change, and a reduced capacity to cope with environmental shifts [9,10]. These unfavorable conditions could easily ignite dissatisfaction among neighboring residents.…”

The urban renewal (UR) process involves various stakeholders and related activities, and the various risks arising from this endeavor can affect these stakeholders. Additionally, the impact of adverse factors such as policy discontinuity and inequitable distribution of benefits among stakeholders can easily result in collective tensions or conflicts, as well as the gradual emergence of potential social frictions and confrontations. These social risks (SRs) not only impede the smooth execution of urban renewal projects but also pose challenges to social harmony and stability. Hence, to mitigate and control the SRs in the UR process (URSRs) and ensure the successful implementation of effective and sustainable UR projects, it is of paramount importance to gain a comprehensive understanding of the occurrence and evolution mechanisms of these SRs. Although existing studies have touched upon the influence of stakeholder conflicts on URSRs, there remains a lack of systematic examination of the evolution mechanisms of these risks from the perspective of stakeholder theory. The resulting fragmented and specialized comprehension of URSRs has hindered the effectiveness of risk governance strategies. This study adopts stakeholder theory to analyze the potential sources of risk throughout the entire UR process. By considering the conflicts of interests among stakeholders, a systematic analysis of the evolution mechanisms of URSRs is explored and targeted governance recommendations for URSRs are proposed.

“…Cities have always embodied a wide range of human functions (such as residence, transportation, employment, commerce, and social life) whose relative importance changes over time, placing new demands on the built environment [1,2]. Within the cities, the development of new residential neighborhoods is a complex task requiring the provision of public facilities and amenities in addition to housing units.…”

A good and sustainable city requires compatibility between the various functions and services that it provides its residents. This study examined the relations between the development of new residential neighborhoods and transportation infrastructure by applying Tiebout’s model of club goods. Thus, we introduced the spatial dimension into the theory of club goods by referring to neighborhoods as clubs and their residents as the club’s members, who make location decisions. Specifically, we explored how residents behave spatially in response to the problematic transportation infrastructure of the neighborhoods. That is, to consider the socioeconomic implications of inadequate transportation infrastructure, we used data from newly developed neighborhoods in Israel to examine the extent to which an increase in traffic congestion can reduce a neighborhood’s size. Our findings show a negative correlation between increases in travel time and the number of housing transactions undertaken in a given neighborhood, thus confirming Tiebout’s assumption that people vote with their feet: When traffic congestion increases, residents prefer to leave the neighborhood and move, in all likelihood, to a place with less congestion. The paper also discusses the results with respect to the social consequences of these trends and warns against the expected socioeconomic consequences, namely that those who can afford to do so will leave in favor of a club with better conditions. The key lessons derived from this study of the Israeli experience are considered relevant to many other countries experiencing similar situations.
