Estate Regeneration
One hundred years ago, the Addison Act created the circumstances for the large-scale construction of municipal housing in the UK. This led to the most prolific phases of housing estate building the country has ever seen. The legacy of this historic period has been tackled for the last twenty-five years as these estates began to suffer from misguided allocation policies, systemic building and fabric failure, and financial austerity.
A series of estate regeneration programmes sought to rectify the mistakes of the past. Estate Regeneration describes 24 of these regeneration schemes from across the UK, focusing on the design philosophy and resident engagement which formed each new community.
A number of essays from a wide range of industry experts amplify the learning experience from some key estate regeneration initiatives, providing observations on the broader issues of this sector of the housing market. Regeneration is inevitable; the form it should take is the real question.
The information presented in Estate Regeneration is a guide to an intuitive approach to estate regeneration, commencing with the derivation of strong urban design principles and guided by real community engagement. The experience presented seeks to learn from the mistakes of the past, aiming to create the best possible platform for the regeneration of housing estates in the future.
