Abstract

[For the residents of social housing estates, their quality of life may suffer on the various dimensions of ‘housing hardship’. Several of these dimensions are structural (e.g. the quality of the dwelling and of communal spaces) or social (e.g. the relationships between housing quality and economic, family-related, psycho-social factors). Some social housing projects may be particularly exposed to the harmful effects of social fragmentation and isolation, as well as the loss of a sense of community.]
