Prole has a point, it's politics that have failed the people, I think highlighting Berlin, Marseilles and Paris are about as accurate as it comes and when you look at Singapore where the government is heavily involved in public housing you see what a positive effect this type of housing can have on people's lives.
The banlieues of Marseilles, Lyon and Paris as these have recently ('80's) become a hub of discontent because the politicians opted to forget about the people that lived there.
