The book provides an in-depth account of how the controversial policy of public/social housing estate regeneration – in the form of demolition and rebuilding – is radically reshaping London’s housing and socio-spatial landscapes. It is based on a decade of research at over a dozen council-built housing estates in the boroughs of Barnet, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Newham, Southwark and Tower Hamlets.

The first part of the lecture traces the history of council housing in London and also examines the shifting policy rationales for estate regeneration. The second section focuses on residents’ experiences of living through estate regeneration and introduces the notion of ‘degeneration’. The third section focuses on the aftermaths of regeneration and suggests that ‘fragmented’ rather than ‘mixed’ communities are being created.
