Olympic Housing: A Critical Review Of London 2012's Legacy

One of the distinguishing characteristics of London's bid to host the games was its commitment to legacy where it was argued that ?he legacy would lead to the regeneration of an entire community for the direct benefit of everyone who lives there? Whilst taking housing as its focus, this book adopts a sociological perspective by exploring the likelihood of social class change in order to draw conclusions about 'gentrification', 'social polarisation' and the extent to which 'social inclusion' is reflected in housing legacies.
