Abstract

Current British urban policy reflects the importance of the concept of mixed communities as a means of achieving sustainable communities. This paper will argue that the relationship expressed in UK policies between ‘mixed’ and ‘sustainable’ communities tends to refer to the final stage of the (re)development process of a community (the product), with far less consideration of all the in-between phases (the process). By comparing actual experiences in two US cities with the UK's policy intentions, this paper suggests that one of the implications of the emphasis on ‘product’ rather than ‘process’ is that the aims of sustainable communities may not be realised because they may be diverted during the process and because the in-between phases themselves could be intrinsically unsustainable.
