Abstract

AbstractThis chapter focuses on the activities of housing associations and municipality in urban revitalization of the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood in Amsterdam against the backdrop of regime changes in national and local housing policy. The Bijlmermeer case is a clear example of partnership between local government and non-profit housing associations in deprived neighbourhoods as mentioned in the Chap. 1 of the book. This chapter shows that in Bijlmermeer urban restructuring and mixed-income development resulted in an increased socio-economic mix and higher satisfaction with dwelling and neighbourhood conditions. Displacement of vulnerable tenants was prevented by policy measures like priority for another house in Bijlmermeer.KeywordsHousing policySocial housingUrban renewalHousing associationsAmsterdam
