Abstract
Policymakers employ different programmes focused on tackling urban
exclusion. Normally, such programmes can be divided into two separate groups:
area-based initiatives and community-development programmes. However, there
are also projects that try to combine those two modes of action. One example of
such a combination is the Soziale Stadt programme, which has been carried out in
German cities since the end of the 1990s. The aim of this article is to present the basic
assumptions of the programme and to evaluate its outcomes - especially in the context
of the joint application of the area-based and community-development approaches.
