UCL are hosting a virtual gathering of activists and academics to present the book Community-Led Regeneration and discuss the experiences of London communities opposing social housing demolition. The book chronicles how resident groups opposed demolitions and proposed community-led schemes, through their collective use of planning mechanisms and other strategies, both formal and informal.

The book has been published as Open Access with UCL Press and can be downloaded for free or purchased here: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/collections/ro_homepage_products/products/125696

In the book launch, we will hear from some of these resident groups about their experiences, what has happened since the book was written, how the communities have been coping through lockdown and what challenges they foresee in the coming months.
