Description
Through seven London case studies of
communities opposing social housing demolition and/or proposing community-led plans, Community-Led
Regeneration offers a toolkit of planning mechanisms and other strategies
that residents and planners working with communities can use to resist
demolition and propose community-led schemes. The case studies are Walterton
and Elgins Community Homes, West Ken and Gibbs Green Community Homes, Cressingham
Gardens Community, Greater Carpenters Neighbourhood Forum, Focus E15, People’s
Empowerment Alliance for Custom House (PEACH), and Alexandra and Ainsworth
Estates. Together, these case studies represent a broad overview of groups that formed as a reaction to proposed demolitions of residents' housing, and groups that formed as a way to manage residents' homes and public space better.
Drawing from the case studies, the toolkit
includes the use of formal planning instruments, as well as other strategies
such as sustained campaigning and activism, forms of citizen-led design, and
alternative proposals for the management and ownership of housing by
communities themselves.
Community-Led Regeneration targets a diverse audience: from planning
professionals and scholars working with communities, to housing activists and
residents resisting the demolition of their neighbourhoods and proposing their
own plans.
Praise for Community-Led Regeneration
'Many accounts exist on the struggles of community-led regeneration, but this book has the merit to bring the key issues together in a clear form for residents wishing to preserve their homes and communities, by gaining more control over their future and urban designers assisting them.'
