How UK housing segregates residents
Synopsis
Luxury housing developments in London illustrate the segregation of residents through 'poor doors' for social housing tenants and lavish amenities for private owners.
Synopsis
Luxury housing developments in London exemplify the segregation within the United Kingdom's housing market, where new projects are required to include a percentage of social housing. This has led to the creation of 'poor doors'-separate entrances for social housing tenants, often situated near less desirable locations like bins or railway lines. The film highlights the disparity in amenities, such as on-site gyms for private owners, and examines the historical context of housing segregation, referencing a significant case from the 1930s in Oxford.
