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.
