The Dutch government aims since the 1990s at a more market oriented approach in urban planning with different implications in terms of who benefits and loses from interventions in vulnerable places such as neighbourhoods of empowerment (krachtwijken). This policy shift and way of thinking about urban planning implicated big changes in the policies which affected all organisational levels. The changes led to other composition of actors on the local municipal scale with more market oriented parties involved in urban regeneration. These changes are to be found controversial by many professionals in academic and the practising world. A different mix of parties will influence the outcomes and may lead to other consequences in physical and socio-demographic implications in vlunerable areas such as neighbourhoods of empowerment. The objective in this research is to gain a better understanding of the physical and socio-demographic implications that appear in a more market oriented approach to urban regeneration in neighbourhoods of empowerment. The results from this research are valuable for authors whom try to make statements regarding the implications that appear when urban regeneration interventions take place under a more market oriented approach. They can be used for a better understanding of the implications in relation to project specific processes.
