Where is this being rolled out?
If families are entitled to £30 worth of food, why is there delivery only equating to just over £5?! 1 child or 3, this what they are receiving? Unacceptable

[Public Books @PublicBooks]

Beyond an end in itself, #PublicHousing nurtures its inhabitants’ demands for an even greater stake in the life of the metropolis.

We revisit @GRMillington on the past, present, and possible futures of public housing: https://t.co/05Y3VxlN2p

My review of John Boughton's important book Municipal Dreams. @UoYSociology

[Public Books @PublicBooks]

Books, documentary films, even T-shirts and tote bags bearing the images of famous modernist housing blocks have become a ubiquitous presence in UK art-gallery gift shops and trendy boutiques.

What's next for public housing? @GRMillington explores: https://t.co/z7K26AMpSq

[Public Books @PublicBooks]

“We are compelled, it seems, to remember and mythologize the public housing built during the 20th century, at the moment when people living in such homes are at their lowest level.”

@GRMillington explores the legacies & possible futures of public housing: https://t.co/eUMyqlmva8

[Max Holleran @MaxHolleran]

The UK is in grave economic danger from years of austerity & the fallout from Covid. Public housing once supplied a buffer against the ferociousness of market forces. Check out that history @PublicBooks by the prolific urbanist @GRMillington @UoYSociology
