Abstract:
In early years of this century, London’s suburbs were at the core of wider plans, expressed through language of sustainable communities – sustainable urban extensions. Housing to maintain economic growth. Some aspects of the suburban (or exurban) dream had to be re-imagined in this context, as new development was interpreted in ambivalent terms – threat or opportunity. Translated into the language of ‘infrastructure’ “We were dubbed as anti-housing but we were never anti-housing. Infrastructure should be planned around the housing not after it”.
