“Councils played a central role in housing provision throughout most of the 20th century… This is a fascinating and important book, in many ways an extension of Boughton’s 2019 book charting the rise and fall of council housing. It not only represents an uplifting story of social progress but is also something of a lament. While there are currently some interesting estates under development, the high-water mark has passed, and it’s a harsher – in spite of being a generally more affluent – world in which social housing exists.” - Building Design. --- A History of Council Housing in 100 Estates by John Boughton --- Available at RIBA Books: https://lnkd.in/dSGxXQNM Read the review: https://lnkd.in/d3-m-PaB
