Using original interviews with estate residents in London, Watt provides a vivid account of estate regeneration and its impacts on marginalised communities in London, showing their experiences and perspectives. He demonstrates the dramatic impacts that regeneration and gentrification can have on socio-spatial inequality.

Using extensive original research undertaken in London, Watt provides a vivid account of estate regeneration in relation to key housing and urban policy debates. Using interviews which foreground the experiences and perspectives of estate residents throughout multiple stages of the regeneration process, Watt demonstrates the dramatic impacts that regeneration and gentrification can have on socio-spatial inequality and London’s marginalised communities.

Paul Watt is a Senior Lecturer in Urban Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.
