List of formal interviews cited in the book -- Index"As the tragedy of the Grenfell tower fire has slowly revealed a shadowy background of outsourcing, private finance initiatives and a council turning a blind eye to health and safety concerns, many questions need answers.0Stuart Hodkinson has those answers. He has worked for the last decade with residents groups in council regeneration projects across London. As residents have been shifted out of 60s and 70s social housing to make way for higher rent paying newcomers, they have been promised a higher quality of housing. Councils have passed the responsibility for this housing to private consortia who amazingly have been allowed to self-regulate on quality and safety. Residents have been ignored for years on this and only now are we hearing the truth. Stuart will weave together his research on PFIs, regulation and resident action to tell the whole story of how Grenfell happened and how this could easily have happened in multiple locations across the country"Manchester capitalism.Public housingGreat BritainDesign and constructionFinancePublic housingManagementContracting outGreat BritainHousing policyGreat BritainLogement socialGrande-BretagneramPolitique du logementGrande-BretagneramIncendiesGrande-BretagneramGreat BritainfastGrenfell.Private Finance Initiative.deregulation.outsourcing.privatisation.public housing.regeneration.safety.unaccountability.Public housingDesign and constructionFinance.Public housingManagementContracting outHousing policyLogement socialPolitique du logementIncendies300Hodkinson Stuartaut1646053MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910815956403321Safe as houses3992858UNINA
