In Ireland, the idea of screening incoming tenants to reduce the social stigma of 'welfare dumping' was gaining ground (Ballymun Task Force, 1987). Would the two patterns cross in the middle? What would happen to the poor? Was there a way out of marginalisation? What management system worked best for the wide social role estates were expected to play? These questions seemed vitally important to every major European city in the study London, Paris, Copenhagen, Dublin, Cork, Glasgow, Lyons, Cologne, Diisseldorf, Aarhus.
Danish housing researchers and non-profit directors made several visits to Britain in the mid- to late-1980s, after establishing an ambitious rescue programme for their own estates aimed at tackling social, economic and organisational, as well as physical problems. Other Scandinavian countries came too. The Irish government, disturbed by extreme social problems on estates, sent parties of tenants and local authority officials to visit estates in Britain. Tenants' groups also came from priority estates in Northern Ireland.
This study examines a new approach to area-based problems. There are three propositions: - combined strategies are needed to tackle estate problems as there are no single, simple solutions; localised operations are needed to reverse poor conditions; creating a sense of community by involving residents and building confidence in an area will enhance conditions and prospects, reducing the threat of breakdown. We wanted to find out whether a patchwork approach to renewal, involving many actors on the ground in flexible and evolutionary strategies might work better than a single, imposed strategic plan, such as those which created mass housing in the early postwar period.
