Abstract: Policies to reduce residential segregation through the supply of affordable housing in middle- or upper-class neighbourhoods or estates, so-called social mixing policies, have been on top of urban political agendas. Yet the achievements have been rather limited, at least regarding the cases of Greater London and Paris, analysed in this study. The paper probes the hypothesis that affordable housing supply suffers from a collective action problem where the outcome may rather reflect neighbourhood opposition, particularly by homeowners, than the general interest. The analysis draws on two novel multi-level datasets for Greater London and the ‘Métropole du Grand Paris’, covering the neighbourhood as well as the municipal level (2010-2018).
