%T Gentrification Outcomes and ARA-Housing in Helsinki Region
%X This research attempted to establish what are the relationships between gentrification and changes is social housing in Helsinki Region. The area has seen great amounts of regeneration and new constructions in the recent years, while social housing model has been changing, and the amounts decreasing on average. Traditionally, these processes have been found as cause for gentrification. The prevalence of the ARA-financed social housing in Helsinki region creates a unique research environment. The findings show that on a neighbourhood level, changes in social housing are related to gentrification outcomes, although they don’t seem to have an impact on the intensity of gentrification when measured with a change in income. The increases in the proportion of social housing prevent gentrification outcomes, possibly proving that social mixing policies work as desired in Helsinki region. Further research should be conducted to find out, what types of social mixing are the most effective at steering gentrification in addition to ARA-housing and how social housing change high/low clusters relate to gentrification processes.
