Description

Book Synopsis

Analyzes urban land value extraction and the resulting community displacement in London.

Disrupting the Speculative City tells the story of how the Haringey Development Vehicle community coalition, defeated one of the most ambitious programs of state-led gentrification in London. Drawing on the accounts of those at the heart of local statecraft and grassroots organizations, and analyzing crucial developments in property investment, this book explores a significant and inspirational success for campaigners in London, where social cleansing has become the default outcome of redevelopment.
