Living Through Regeneration

Synopsis: Rebuilding Britain’s run-down social housing seems like a good deal for everyone. But what’s it like to live through regeneration?

This thought-provoking film shows what ‘tenant participation’ means in action. What is it like to be a resident in a regeneration area? How do tenants negotiate the myriad of agencies involved in partnership government? Who’s in charge? What does partnership mean for people living through regeneration? While Norfolk Park is being heralded as an example of a new sustainable community, the film uncovers some of the hidden voices of regeneration. The total number of houses has been reduced by 50%. Where have all the residents gone? Who can afford to move back now the regeneration is underway? Will there be a new ‘community’ on Norfolk Park?
