Abstract and Figures

This research is looking at notion of urban regeneration and housing role on it. the research is structured into two parts; the first part is concerned with defining urban regeneration, its importance, and the and the different factors in academic literature. then it continues by dividing and thoroughly analyzing/discussing the different housing contributions to urban regeneration both directly and indirectly. it will provide critical review of these contributions against future needs and changes. the second part will further evaluate all discussed in the first part in practice through a casestudy of the welsh housing quality standards (whqs) and "the can do toolkit 1 & 2" introduced by the welsh housing committee in the united kingdom in 2003, 2006 and 2008 respectively. the research will consider the links between the different contributions and possible effects it may have on the region. finally, some key points will be presented in the conclusion to highlight the different housing contributions to urban regeneration and their potential benefits and limitations.

Housing Contribution to Urban Regeneration - A case study of the Welsh Housing
Quality Standards (WHQS) and the Can Do Toolkit in UK Wales
Abstract:
this research is looking at notion of urban regeneration and housing role on it. the research
is structured into two parts; the first part is concerned with defining urban regeneration, its
importance, and the and the different factors in academic literature. then it continues by dividing and
thoroughly analyzing/discussing the different housing contributions to urban regeneration both
directly and indirectly. it will provide critical review of these contributions against future needs and
changes. the second part will further evaluate all discussed in the first part in practice through a
casestudy of the welsh housing quality standards (whqs) and "the can do toolkit 1 & 2" introduced by
the welsh housing committee in the united kingdom in 2003, 2006 and 2008 respectively. the research
will consider the links between the different contributions and possible effects it may have on the
region. finally, some key points will be presented in the conclusion to highlight the different housing
contributions to urban regeneration and their potential benefits and limitations.

This study is concerned with the 2008 World Financial Crisis impact on homelessness in developed cities and the associated affordable housing response. After giving a brief background about homelessness and its size in the United States, the study discusses homelessness nature in New York, its size/scale and the main individual/structural causes through the housing pathway framework within the 2008 financial crisis role on homelessness. The study then critically review the federal and local responses to homelessness pointing out the main policy instruments used and the possible strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the study lists some recommendations such as lower level of welfare system, group borrowing, and providing jobs. © 2017 DAR Publishers/The University of Jordan. All Rights Reserved.
Book
Environmental Health and Housing provides both students and professionals with comprehensive coverage of issues relating to both social and private housing. The book includes basic technical information for completing house surveys, detailed yet clear backgrounds to and explanations of applying relevant legislation, and discussion of current policy and strategy. All this is backed up with case studies and examples of how theory and law are put into practice in real situations. The minefield of overlapping legislation and legal issues are clearly presented as flow charts and tables. Unique in its coverage, clearly illustrated and covering such diverse topics as housing defects, caravan sites, asylum seekers and social exclusion, Environmental Health and Housing is an essential purchase for all students and professionals in the housing sector.
Article
As the debate on sustainable development and environmental justice has gathered momen tum, considerable attention has been paid to identifying key principles. In this paper, I highlight a number of core principles and then move on to examine differing styles of policy approach, which have gained favor among different sources, for moving toward the sustainable city from market-based neo- liberal reformism to deep green ecologically centered approaches. I highlight four broad categories of approach to sustainable urban development and begin linking those to the core principles of sustainable development.
Article
A major revision of the author's previous work on 'housing classes', in which he suggests that a more important source of divergent social and political interests is the division between these goods and services on the market. This insight is then applied to a consideration of the housing policies traditionally adopted by the British Labour Party, and an alternative approach to future socialist housing strategy is formulated. Concludes that the desire for individual property ownership rights will continue even after the socialist reorganisation of production has been completed.- after Author

The paper describes the results of a 3-year study of a social housing organization in England, tracing its transition from local authority-financed social agency into an ‘independent’ social business financed by lenders and following a merger its further transition into a complex business managing £200 million of assets.The study is concerned with the accountability to and by a quasi-public sector Board and how that Board was (or was not) able to exercise effective governance. It asks: Who is accountable? To whom are they accountable? For what are they accountable?The paper builds on the contrast made by Roberts [Acc. Organ. Society 16 (1991) 355; J. Roberts, From discipline to dialogue: individualizing and socializing forms of accountability, in: R. Munro, J. Mouritsen (Eds.), Accountability: Power, Ethos and the Technologies of Managing, International Thomson Business Press, London, 1996; Hum. Relat. 54 (2001) 1547] between a formal, hierarchical system of accountability based on a calculative accounting, and an informal, socializing form of accountability based on a sense-making narrative. The research identifies the limitations of accounting reports and the inadequacy of the narratives surrounding management/Board interaction. The paper identifies a space between the calculative and the narrative that is vacant and where governance is problematic and which impedes broader social accountabilities.

Most research on housing and health seeks causal links between dwelling conditions and the incidence of physical and mental disease. Less attention has been paid to the more sociological question of how health status affects housing opportunities. This paper shows how, and considers why, medical factors influence access to housing, whether in the public sector (where accommodation is traditionally allocated according to 'need') or in the housing market (where dwelling availability depends on ability to pay). In Britain, whose experience is taken as an example, a shrinking council housing stock can no longer accommodate general medical needs. Consequently, notwithstanding the importance of 'special' housing initiatives, many sick people are forced to seek accommodation in the private sector. Whether they succeed or fail (and so become homeless), this raises questions concerning the health selective role of the housing system which analysts have scarcely begun to address.

Homelessness and hunger are associated with poor health care access among children. Housing instability and food insecurity represent milder and more prevalent forms of homelessness and hunger. The aim of this study was to determine the association between housing instability and food insecurity with children's health care access and acute health care utilization. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 12,746 children from low-income households included in the 2002 National Survey of America's Families (NSAF). In multivariate models controlling for important covariates, we measured the association between housing instability and food insecurity with 3 health care access measures: 1) no usual source of care, 2) postponed medical care, and 3) postponed medications. We also measured 3 health care utilization measures: 1) not receiving the recommended number of well-child care visits, 2) increased emergency department visits, and 3) hospitalizations. Our analysis showed that 29.5% of low-income children lived in households with housing instability and 39.0% with food insecurity. In multivariate logistic regression models, housing instability was independently associated with postponed medical care, postponed medications, and increased emergency department visits. Food insecurity was independently associated with no usual source of care, postponed medical care, postponed medications, and not receiving the recommended well-child care visits. Families that experience housing instability and food insecurity, without necessarily experiencing homelessness or hunger, have compromised ability to receive adequate health care for their children. Policy makers should consider improving programs that decrease housing instability and food insecurity, and clinicians should consider screening for housing instability and food insecurity so as to provide comprehensive care.
