Olympic Housing: A Critical Review of London 2012s Legacy

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Londons bid to host the games was its commitment to legacy where it was argued that the legacy would lead to the regeneration of an entire community for the direct benefit of everyone who lives there. Whilst taking housing as its focus, this book adopts a sociological perspective by exploring the likelihood of social class change in order to draw conclusions about gentrification, social polarisation and the extent to which social inclusion is reflected in housing legacies.
