| Summary: | After two years of being implemented, Housing Market Renewal (HMR) via its Pathfinder organisation has recognised that housing market failure is not only central to the physical development of housing. Rather it is about non-housing intervention factors such as social deprivation, economic and environmental issues that cause housing to be unpopular and deteriorated. The aspirations of local community also need to be investigated as the recent protest by the local residents within the Pathfinder scheme in the North England suggesting a gap between professional intentions and community expectations. The conflict between the aspirations of the local community and the objectives of the HMR Plan suggests that HMR professionals need to highlight issues on skills necessary for community-based actions. This paper aims to look at what building sustainable communities really means for low housing demand in the Pathfinder areas. It leads to the development of community-based action model that recognises additional skills needs for delivering HMR from the Pathfinder organisation perspective. The development of proposed model assists the researcher to answer part of the research questions: What are the additional skills and competences that need to be acquired by the employees of Pathfinder organisation necessary to deliver Housing Market Renewal? |
