Delivering Social Housing: Examining the Nexus between Social Housing and the Urban Democracy Agenda(2015-06-29)Conference PresentationThe construction of affordable housing in gentrifying neighbourhoods can invoke contestation, revealing tensions between economic imperatives, social policy and an urban change agenda. With a view to understanding how the convergence of these agendas preserve sometimes unpopular, but socially critical housing infrastructure, the aim of this paper is to explore how the unique challenges social housing implementations encounter across these agendas intersect with local urban democracy. Using one affordable housing project in the gentrifying local government area of Port Phillip in Victoria, Australia as our empirical focus, this paper reveals how a council’s main asset to support implementation – its policy frameworks – creates an urban narrative of social inclusivity. But as this case illustrates it is how elected officials and some residents use these policies to interject into episodes of fierce community opposition that inspire greater attentiveness to the nexus between social housing and democratic planning.
