Description and Table of Contents

Description

Is area and community regeneration enough to challenge the negative perceptions of a stigmatized housing estate? The authors of this report argue that, unless image problems are effectively challenged alongside regenration, stigma will remain. Providing detailed evidence from residents and others, the book: discusses the impact of stigma on residents' lives; pinpoints responsibility for negative estate images; suggests key factors for positively managing images; and provides good practice suggestions for "image management".
