  text: "[Intro] The paper introduces a participatory tool for assessment of the Middle-Class
    Mass Housing (MCMH) in Europe that was simultaneously applied in two studies,
    on the two cases New Belgrade (Serbia) and Almere Haven (The Netherlands). The
    studies were exploring the values, problems and opportunities of these residential
    neighbourhoods through the eyes of their residents. \r\n\r\n[Method] A comparative
    analysis reveals contrasting and complementary aspects of the two cases. Exploratory
    interviews and surveys were used to collect testimonies of residents, informing
    the method of assessment (co-diagnosis) in residential neighbourhoods. By applying
    the same tool and comparing results, the paper contributes to a validation of
    this method for research on MCMH neighbourhoods in different regions and for different
    MCMH typologies and scales. \r\n\r\n[Result] The paper highlights some main themes
    of residents’ analysis of their neighbourhood’s strengths and weaknesses. Aspects
    discussed are, among others, deterioration (technical, functional, social), sense
    of community, place attachment, maintenance and taking care, ownership and appropriation,
    quality of public spaces and green areas, satisfaction and comfort. Both researches
    are still in development, but some preliminary conclusions can be sketched. Although
    both cases were built in the same decades (1970s-80s), they seem to hold opposite
    architectural and urban characteristics. New Belgrade is composed of modernist
    blocks with mass housing types in a high-rise urban pattern with mainly collective
    green spaces. Almere Haven is a suburban low-rise pattern and consists of a wide
    variety of typologies, materials and a range of private, collective and public
    green spaces. However, the residents’ opinions and assessments show many similarities,
    regarding the themes they address and the values and problems they identify.\r\n\r\n[Value
    for MCMH] The paper illustrates the diversity of MCMH in two different European
    regions and projects, identifying the broad scope that is needed to assess MCMH.
    Moreover, the method of exploratory talks with residents is identified as an important
    participatory tool within the broader analytical framework for MCMH neighbourhoods. "
