Although housing in Bethnal Green was often appalling, a complex
network of relatives - families of three generations held together
by the powerful mother-daughter bond at the centre - was always
available to provide mutual aid and a sense of community. It was
when families were rehoused in the immaculate new estates outside
London, miles away from their kin, that the vital support system
broke down, with disastrous effects on the quality of people's
lives. This famous book, based on a major three-year research
project, makes clear how planners have frequently failed to
understand real human needs; it also provides a marvellous portrait
of the resilience and generosity of spirit which went at least some
way to compensate for the deptivations of inner-city working-class
life.
