Drawing on a unique archive spanning the lifetime of twenty council
estate projects in the UK and using hundreds of resident voices,
this book reveals the secrets of council housing's failures and
successes, and the reasons for them. Bringing to light the complex
variety of the lived experiences of residents, it shows how estate
pathways were predetermined by factors such as location, design and
date, as well as by their local and national social, economic and
political contexts. The book highlights what can be learned from
some of the successes of less successful housing projects and
provides lessons for building sustainable communities in the
twenty-first century.
