The author describes how property developers, interested only in maximising profits, attempted to redevelop the Tolmers area for offices, while the local authority, pressurised by local tenants and faced with a housing shortage, tried to redevelop for housing. This book is about the politics of central city redevelopment.Although this text focuses on one part 410 0$aRoutledge Revivals 606 $aUrban renewal$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aReal estate investment$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aHousing$zEngland$zLondon 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aReal estate investment 615 0$aHousing 676 $a333.3370942 700 $aWates$b Nick.$01624733 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825996603321 996 $aThe battle for Tolmers Square$93959885 997 $aUNINA
