Estate Regeneration and its Discontents cover

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 leading analyst of housing policy and politics. He draws on this experience to make sense of a pervasive and troubling housing policy that is reshaping urban space and urban lives in London and beyond.” David Madden, London School of Economics

"The book enables a new understanding of the complexities of tenure and its interaction with place and housing system dynamics. Watt superbly renders the experiences and views of secure and insecure local authority and housing association tenants, owner-occupiers, RTB owners and those displaced to the private sector, allowing the power of their stories to illuminate a wider explanation for their varied orientations to the regeneration process."
