Abstract
This chapter presents qualitative evidence from six low income neighbourhoods in Britain to explore residents' perceptions of, and perspectives on, neighbourhood change and sustainability. Residents identify a range of drivers, symbols and indicators of neighbourhood sustainability. There is a disconnection between the attachment and future commitment residents express towards their neighbourhoods and their ability to translate this sense of belonging into ownership and influence. The chapter argues that all neighbourhoods require a minimum standard of retail, service and housing infrastructure, which requires a combination of public policy and investment from the voluntary, community and private sectors. The vagaries of private sector investment will not deliver sustainability in lower income urban neighbourhoods and there is an inherent tension between policy aims of promoting labour and housing market flexibility and simultaneously emphasising localism, a sense of belonging, and cohesion as drivers of sustainability.
