Jane Jacobs and ‘the need for aged buildings’ : neighbourhood historical development pace and community social relations

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This paper operationalises the concept of pace of development within a cross-sectional framework as the ‘agediversity of housing’. Analysis of a population-based multilevel community survey of Chicago linked with census housing data predicts individual perceptions of neighbourhood social relations (cohesion, control, intergenerational closure and reciprocal exchange). A gradual pace of redevelopment resulting in historical diversity of housing significantly predicts social relations, lending support to Jacobs’s claims.
