Slums and Slum Clearance in Victorian London was first published in 1986.

Slums and Redevelopment (1992) moves between national policy formation and detailed local studies, particularly of London, studies involving landlords and property, tenants and rehousing, and the implementation of programmes. The interwar period it examines saw the restoration of slum clearance following a period of opposition, and the onset of the first national slum clearance programme, reaching its climax in the plans for large-scale redevelopment mad during World War II. Inner city redevelopment of this kind had its intellectual origins in the 1930s, and had much wider repercussions for property and social policy.

First published in 1986. Victorian London is a classic site of the slum. This study looks at the process of slum clearance. It covers the development of policies and programmes from their initiation through Cross's Act (1875) to the abandonment of clearance by the London County Council at the end of the Victorian period in favour of a suburban solution. It is concerned with the manner in which such policies related to the nature of the slum and its place in the urban structure. The discussion ranges from contemporary understanding of such matters to the detailed content and repercussions of policies, which required the designation of unfit houses, the compensation of property owners, the displacement of tenants, and the rebuilding of sites.
