• What is the definition of troubled housing estates?
• Who lives on troubled housing estates?
• Who owns and manages the troubled housing estates?
• What have been the reasons behind improvement programmes for troubled housing estates?
• What kind of improvement programmes have been implemented and with what kind of results?
• Have improvement programmes changed the position of the estates on the local housing markets?
• What are the changes in policies and results?
• What are the perspectives for policy initiatives in the field of troubled housing estates?
