Mixed-Occupancy Housing in London

Focusing on a mixed-occupancy housing estate in central London, this ethnographic study investigates the impact of the 1980 Housing Act and the 'Right to Buy' policy. Through four years of fieldwork, the authors analyze the social dynamics among owner-occupiers, council tenants, and private renters, revealing the effects on community cohesion and individual experiences. By sharing personal stories, the book brings to life the complexities of class, race, and gender within social housing, enriching the academic discourse with real-life narratives.
