Abstract
Over the last three decades, historic housing areas with problems of social exclusion and urban deprivation have become one of the major concerns in urban regeneration, housing renovation and conservation projects. While the urban regeneration and conservation policies in the 1980s and 1990s were primarily based on the idea of property-led regeneration and mainly addressed economic and physical decline, the debate on urban regeneration and conservation policies has moved to social and community-related issues in the urban renewal process since the late-1990s (Healey et al., 1992; Turok, 1992; Imrie and Thomas, 1993; Cameron and Doling, 1994; Berry and McGreal, 1995; Jones and Watkins, 1996; Hill, 2000; Pagonis and Thornley, 2000; Roberts and Sykes, 2000; Audit Commission, 2001; Nelson, 2001; Vicari, 2001; Birch, 2002; European Union, 2002; Adair et al., 2003; Imrie and Raco, 2003; Madanipour et al., 1998). Despite the shift in the emphasis of the policies towards social and community-related issues, it is still questionable how far the recent regeneration efforts in historic housing areas address the community needs and integrate the aspirations, preferences and values of local residents living in or adjacent to these project areas.
