What impact do poor neighborhood conditions have on family life? Why do neighborhoods matter to low income families? How important is community spirit to people living in deprived areas? Does the receipt of major regeneration funding ensure that social conditions will improve? This book gives exciting and important new insights into the regeneration of low-income neighborhoods and into neighborhood relations (including race relations), through the eyes of the families residing in the East End of London. By using an up-to-date account of life in East London, the authors have been able to show how cities faced with neighborhoods in decline are changing.
