Using a unique archive spanning the lifetime of twenty council estates in the UK, this book examines what we can learn from council housing's failings and successes for building sustainable communities in the future.
Drawing on a unique archive spanning the lifetime of twenty council state projects in the UK, this book examines how estate pathways were predetermined by factors such as location, design and date, as well as by their local and national social, economic and political contexts. It examines the successes of less successful housing projects and provides lessons for building sustainable communities for the twenty-first century.
