Public housing estates are disappearing from London's skyline in
the name of regeneration, while new mixed-tenure developments are
arising in their place. This richly illustrated book provides a
vivid interdisciplinary account of the controversial urban policy
of demolition and rebuilding amid London's housing crisis and the
polarisation between the city's have-nots and have-lots. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork and interviews with over 180 residents living
in some of the capital's most deprived areas, Watt shows the
dramatic ways that estate regeneration is reshaping London,
fuelling socio-spatial inequalities via state-led gentrification.
Foregrounding resident experiences and perspectives both before and
during regeneration, he examines class, place belonging, home and
neighbourhood, and argues that the endless regeneration process
results in degeneration, displacement and fragmented communities.
