This research focused on the creation of new methods, and mechanisms for inner city regeneration and shed light on the reality of services and livelihood support, associated with dynamics of the housing market for singleton. While the existing housing stock is (re-)used in multiple ways, for instance as welfare apartments, residential guesthouses, holiday rentals (AirBnB), and small individual stores, these new applications do not lead to gentrification in the inner city. In contrast, they turned out to be effective methods to provide a living environment, featuring both, affordability and proper housing standards, appropriate for socially vulnerable people and foreign residents. For these new applications real estate agents fulfill an important role, by becoming keypersons for the provision of livelihood support, and by introducing a new real estate management system to the inner city, enabling socially resilience of vulnerable people and physical resilience of the built environment.
