Today's #MunicipalistMonday 🧵celebrates resistance against social cleansing & gentrification.

🏠🏘️🏩🌇🌆

The focal point is Aylesbury Estate: a housing estate that was home to thousands of residents in Southwark, south London.

Recently, resident Aysen Dennis opened the doors of her 8th floor home on Aylesbury Estate. The whole housing estate faces demolition and is mainly empty. Her flat became a centrepiece of community resistance, hosting an exhibition of the struggle. ImageImageImage
Aylesbury Estate was built by the 70s, a growing era of social housing in the UK until Thatcher (1979-90). Later, New Labour copied Conservatives' social cleansing policies.

In 1997, PM Blair gave his first speech from Aylesbury Estate, setting out his “regeneration policy”. ImageImage
