While slum clearance projects in the Global South have displaced a large number of urban poor from the inner city to peripheral areas, peripheral mass housing estates have been developed as a spatial fix to improve the livelihood of the urban poor through slum development projects. Shifting the focus of displacement and poverty studies on changing assets and social experiences of displacement, this study makes an empirical contribution to the literature with a case study from Turkey. It demonstrates that mass housing projects that increase the importance of market-based processes and financial assets at the expense of intangible assets (household relations and social capital) make the urban poor more vulnerable to displacement pressure and external shocks. Using the example of a mass housing project in Turkey designed for the relocation of a highly concentrated Kurdish migrant squatter settlement, this research demonstrates that slum development projects can cause different types of displacement, divesting residents of opportunities to accumulate assets and reconstruct a sense of place. The research demonstrates that the dissolution of intangible assets and the exclusion of social spaces that are important to relocated residents in the mass housing estate bring about community displacement in the case of Kurdish residents. Also, relocated squatters feel pressured by the ongoing and daily experiences of displacement—notably everyday, symbolic and temporal displacement—as the spatial design of the mass housing unfamiliar with the livelihood of squatter dwellers constrains their opportunities to appropriate neighbourhood space in everyday life and enact a sense of place.

城内棚户区向周边群众住宅的搬迁与资产转化

虽然全球南方的贫民窟清理项目已将大量城市贫民从内城转移到周边地区，但周边群众住宅区已被开发为空间修复，以通过贫民窟开发项目改善城市贫民的生计。本研究将流离失所和贫困研究的重点转移到不断变化的资产和流离失所的社会经历上，通过土耳其的案例研究对文献做出了实证贡献。它表明，以牺牲无形资产（家庭关系和社会资本）为代价的大规模住房项目增加了基于市场的过程和金融资产的重要性，使城市贫民更容易受到流离失所压力和外部冲击的影响。本研究以土耳其为高度集中的库尔德移民棚户区搬迁而设计的大规模住房项目为例，表明贫民窟开发项目会导致不同类型的流离失所，剥夺居民积累资产和重建地方感的机会. 研究表明，在库尔德居民的情况下，无形资产的解散和对搬迁居民重要的社会空间的排斥导致社区流离失所。此外，重新安置的擅自占地者因持续和日常的流离失所经历而感到压力——尤其是每天，
