Contemporary urban renewal policies worldwide are often presented as “win-win” opportunities, benefiting not only public authorities and private developers but also all target populations. The study, using a Tel Aviv neighborhood as a test case, challenges this prevailing idyllic perception by evaluating the social, economic, and physical outcomes of urban renewal at the household level, according to three tensions inherent in any residential urban renewal project. The research findings, outlining the urban renewal matrix—that is, the costs and benefits of urban renewal for various residents—reflect a complex reality with positive and negative consequences for different resident groups. Although urban renewal has significantly improved the housing conditions and surrounding environment, and although it promises some residents substantial future financial gain, it has also created a divided community, imposed pronounced affordability burdens that expose disadvantaged residents to economic displacement, and has not adequately adapted transportation and education services to population growth and residents’ expectations. At a time when urban renewal is no longer a matter of choice, understanding the urban renewal matrix may help planners and policy makers bring the renewal process closer to its stated goals of improving the quality of life and encouraging the social mobility of disadvantaged populations.

当代世界范围内的城市更新政策通常被视为“双赢”机会，不仅有利于公共当局和私人开发商，而且有利于所有目标人群。该研究使用特拉维夫社区作为测试案例，根据任何住宅城市更新项目固有的三种紧张局势，通过在家庭层面评估城市更新的社会、经济和物理结果，挑战这种普遍的田园诗般的看法。研究结果概述了城市更新矩阵——即城市更新对不同居民的成本和收益——反映了一个复杂的现实，对不同的居民群体产生积极和消极的影响。虽然城市更新显着改善了居住条件和周边环境，尽管它为一些居民带来了可观的未来经济收益，但它也造成了社区的分裂，强加了明显的负担能力负担，使弱势居民面临经济迁移，并且没有使交通和教育服务充分适应人口增长和居民的期望。在城市更新不再是一个选择问题的时候，了解城市更新矩阵可能有助于规划者和政策制定者使更新过程更接近其提高生活质量和鼓励弱势群体社会流动的既定目标。交通和教育服务未能充分适应人口增长和居民期望。在城市更新不再是一个选择问题的时候，了解城市更新矩阵可能有助于规划者和政策制定者使更新过程更接近其提高生活质量和鼓励弱势群体社会流动的既定目标。交通和教育服务未能充分适应人口增长和居民期望。在城市更新不再是一个选择问题的时候，了解城市更新矩阵可能有助于规划者和政策制定者使更新过程更接近其提高生活质量和鼓励弱势群体社会流动的既定目标。
