Originally published in 1976. Slum clearance is a particularly
significant process because it places the ordinary citizen in a
state of extreme dependence on his local authority. The local
authority not only destroys his existing environment but controls
access to a replacement council house. This book highlights both
the control over the life chances of individual citizens which
local government can exercise and the potential impotence of
citizens caught up in a complex bureaucratic process. It
investigates the difficulties faced by individuals in exercising
even the rights and choices which are ostensibly provided by the
existing structure. The book also seeks to apply theories of urban
sociology in exploring the control of access to public housing. The
essential objective of this study is demystification of the
administrative processes of slum clearance and rehousing through
analysis of local authority bureaucracy and its impact on
individuals.
