Public housing estates are disappearing from London's skyline in the name of regeneration, while new mixed-tenure developments are arising in their place. This richly illustrated book provides a vivid interdisciplinary account of the controversial urban policy of demolition and rebuilding amid London's housing crisis and the polarisation between the city's have-nots and have-lots.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with over 180 residents living in some of the capital's most deprived areas, Watt shows the dramatic ways that estate regeneration is reshaping London, fuelling socio-spatial inequalities via state-led gentrification. Foregrounding resident experiences and perspectives both before and during regeneration, he examines class, place belonging, home and neighbourhood, and argues that the endless regeneration process results in degeneration, displacement and fragmented communities.

Paul Watt is Visiting Professor in the Department of Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
