The Social Effects of Housing Demolitions: A Study of Public Housing High-Rises in Saint-Etienne, France - 2006.

The article presents the results of recent research dealing with the social effects of the demolitions of buildings in social housing districts. If “urban renewal” improves the districts concerned, and thus aims at attracting or maintaining the middle classes, on the other hand, the conditions of rehousing which arises from the demolitions are objective constraints which weigh strongly upon the social-residential futures of lower class families. More generally, the demolitions have a significant effect upon the social relations of the district by disturbing the living conditions of the inhabitants and also by interfering with the social partitions within the district.
