Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The truth behind council estates - how they came about, how they gained their reputation and the reality of living in one.

Publisher's description:

Britain's council estates have become a media shorthand for poverty, social mayhem, drugs, drink and violence - the social ills they were built to cure. This work focuses on how shifting trends in urban planning and changing government policies affected those so often left out of the argument over council estates.
