'Telling Your Story':
People on the Aylesbury Estate, South London
This is the second in a series of books which explore more fully the research undertaken by Professor Teal Triggs, Dr Claire McAndrew, Dr Yoko Akama, Joanna Choukeir.
One of the largest housing estates in the UK, The Aylesbury, South London is undergoing a massive transformation as part of £2.4 billion regeneration project. The scheme aims to provide a 'blueprint for a new neighbourhood' and in the process, 'create a strong vibrant community.' As the demolition of the Estate began in October 2009, the Aylesbury Estate Kaleidoscope Project was launched in order to share the memories, experiences and images of the people who lived there. This book also includes examples from other work involving residents and students from London College of Communication leading up to 'Telling Your Story.'
