了解住房更新政策的影响已成为一项日益复杂的任务。首先，评估必须认识到政策运作的城市环境的变化，特别是通过士绅化过程对一些内城地区的振兴。其次，更重要的是，房屋更新政策应该放在更广泛的城市政策背景下看待。然而，在评判城市政策的成功与否方面，存在着相互竞争的框架。对于是否应该将中产阶级化视为一个理想的结果，这些人持相反的观点。这篇文章通过引用最近对苏格兰住房行动领域方案影响的评估来说明这些要点。研究表明，两个主要城市采用了截然不同的更新实施方法，因此更新的影响也有所不同。对每种方法“成功”的判断取决于所使用的框架。调查结果还表明，国家可能在影响许多城市正在进行的重组过程中发挥重要作用。
Understanding the impacts of housing renewal policies has become an increasingly complex task. First, evaluation must recognise the changing urban context within which policies operate, notably the revitalisation of some inner-city areas through the process of gentrification. Secondly, and more importantly, housing renewal policies should be viewed in the wider context of urban policy. Yet competing frameworks are available for judging success in urban policy terms. These take opposing views of whether gentrification should be considered a desirable outcome. The article illustrates these points by drawing on a recent evaluation of the impacts of the Housing Action Areas programme in Scotland. It shows that contrasting approaches to implementing renewal were adopted in the two main cities and that the impacts of renewal varied as a result. Judgement of the 'success' of each approach is shown to depend upon the framework used. The findings also suggest that the state may play a major role in influencing the process of restructuring under way in many cities.
