The Crisis of Modern Housing Estates. Critique of the Modernist City and New Forms of Sociability in the 1970s

现代大众住宅区的危机恰逢文化和社会价值观的转变，以及1970年代特有的社会经济破裂。就住宅区而言，现代主义城市结构的普遍贬值和生活偏好的转变与社会经济问题的死灰复燃重叠。通常，屋苑的基础设施仍然不完善，维修不善，社会问题开始恶化。然而，这些庄园的居民能够发展起作用的社区。尽管处境不利，他们还是组成了广泛的社会网络和组织，以解决社会问题、被忽视的建筑环境和他们的屋苑的整体贬值。问题的集中与屋苑社区应对这些问题的能力之间的紧张关系，为这项研究项目奠定了基础。1970年代屋苑的发展，让我们得以深入了解在文化和社会价值观念改变及新的社会经济压力下，社区建设的过程。因此，这一研究项目将展示新的社交形式和民间社会是如何在繁荣之后的特定情况下发展起来的。

The crisis of modern mass housing estates coincided with the shift of cultural and social values and the socioeconomic ruptures that were characteristic of the 1970s. In case of the housing estates, the general devaluation of modernist urban structures and the transformation of living preferences overlapped with the resurgence of socioeconomic problems. Often, the estates infrastructure remained incomplete, maintenance was poor and social problems started to aggravate. However, inhabitants of the estates were able to develop functioning communities. Despite all adverse circumstances they formed a wide array of social networks and organizations to address the social problems, the neglected built environment and the overall devaluation of their estates.The tension between the concentration of problems and the ability of the estates communities to cope with them, sets the stage for this research project. The development of the housing estates during the 1970s offers an insight into processes of community building under the conditions of changing cultural and social values and new socioeconomic pressures. This research project will thus show how new forms of sociability and civil society developed under the specific circumstances of the period after the Boom.
