Abstract
House relocation is a circular reuse approach with potential to address multi-pronged community challenges in rapidly redeveloping cities. Historically used throughout the USA, Austin, Texas serves as the testing ground for this contemporary research on house relocation, exemplifying a urban context experiencing a range of challenges, including rampant demolition, housing shortages, exponential population increase, and unmet zero waste goals. Researchers took a mixed-methods approach, including literature review, interviews, and permit record analysis to assess the use of house relocation as a tool to address these urban challenges, while identifying associated community benefits, barriers, and applications. Written in parallel, the academic research also informed an educational guide for the development community and broader public audience released in 2023.
期刊介绍:
Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
