Many aging mid-twentieth-century social housing developments worldwide are set to undergo major redevelopment, aiming to improve residents' living conditions. Nevertheless, the associated processes, particularly the challenges of relocation during the demolition and reconstruction phase, can significantly disrupt communities and social networks. Understanding the multifaceted impacts of social housing redevelopment projects is crucial to inform planning, design, and consultation for these projects. This scoping literature review explores how residents' health and well-being are considered in the process of social housing redevelopment. We identified eight studies through a search performed on EMBASE, PubMed, and Scopus databases, with an additional hand search of the bibliographies of selected studies. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the health and well-being impacts of the different phases during redevelopment projects. The findings demonstrate that social housing redevelopment projects have varied impacts on residents' health and well-being depending on the subgroup of residents and the contextual characteristics of the original social housing estate. While improved physical infrastructure provides opportunities for better health outcomes, the disruption and lack of control during the relocation process may cause significant adverse health impacts. Moreover, the different phases during the redevelopment process expose different subgroups to varying risks. Based on these findings, we recommend that social housing redevelopment initiatives prioritize engaging and empowering residents to have better control in decision-making throughout all phases of the redevelopment.
许多 20 世纪中期的全球老龄化社会住房开发项目都将进行重大的重建，旨在改善居民的生活条件。然而，相关的过程，特别是在拆除和重建阶段的搬迁挑战，可能会严重破坏社区和社交网络。了解社会住房重建项目的多方面影响对于为这些项目提供规划、设计和咨询至关重要。本范围文献综述探讨了居民的健康和福祉在社会住房重建过程中是如何被考虑的。我们通过在 EMBASE、PubMed 和 Scopus 数据库中进行搜索，确定了八项研究，并对选定研究的参考文献进行了额外的手工搜索。通过主题分析，确定了不同重建阶段对居民健康和福祉的影响。研究结果表明，社会住房重建项目对居民的健康和福祉有不同的影响，具体取决于居民的亚组和原有社会住房物业的背景特征。虽然改善的物质基础设施为更好的健康结果提供了机会，但在搬迁过程中的中断和缺乏控制可能会导致重大的不良健康影响。此外，重建过程的不同阶段使不同的亚组面临不同的风险。基于这些发现，我们建议社会住房重建计划优先让居民参与并赋予他们在重建的所有阶段更好的决策控制。
