The hundreds of millions over the past four years in the Fowler Districts have been invested, had no effect. The forty neighborhoods there are now no better or worse than similar problem neighborhoods. It appears from the report published today Work on the area of the Social and Cultural Planning Office 2011 emmy awards winners (SCP), commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior.
It is the first time that the efficacy of the neighborhood approach has been investigated. "We have no positive effects were found," concluded researcher Jeanet Kullberg of the SCP. Thus, the districts are not safer or become more livable than other problem areas:
The district approach was one of the spearheads of the Balkenende IV. Minister Ella Vogelaar (PvdA) was to ensure that the Fowler Districts within ten years, achieving 2011 emmy awards winners the average of their city in the areas of housing, employment, education, integration and security. Between 2008 and 2012 invested corporations certainly 750 million euros in the neighborhoods. Part of it, 75 million per year, was obliged raised by corporations outside of these problem areas, the controversial Vogelaar Levy. The money went to, among other social projects and large-scale demolition and new construction 2011 emmy awards winners to lure. Higher incomes In addition, the state attracted tens of millions of green, district nurses and residents budgets. And there was a special Ministry for Housing, Communities and Integration, led by Vogelaar.
Vain, it turns out. "The power district policy has had no significant impact on the distinctive quality of life, safety and socio-economic position of the focus areas," concludes the SCP report. Satisfaction with the environment and social cohesion improved in the Fowler Districts more than elsewhere, but that happened even before the district approach began. After 2009, there was just a relapse to see. All problem 2011 emmy awards winners areas were the same development
According to the SCP create any problem areas - Vogelaar label or not - similar movements through time. External influences such as the economic crisis and crime development have a major impact. In addition, residents 2011 emmy awards winners of Vogelaar Neighbourhoods are located there by Vogelaar stamp even more aware that they live in a bad neighborhood, and that leads to negative associations and feelings. And maybe the policy is simply not effective or been distinctive enough says the SCP.
But Kullberg will not speak of wasted money. Perhaps the Fowler Districts had without the extra investment advocated worse than now. Also, the neighborhood approach taken instead of the planned ten years. Less than four years And, says Kullberg, projects will undoubtedly be that work well. "You should not throw the baby out with the bathwater." But there is no record what's in the neighborhoods where it happened, and therefore not what works and what does not.
