Housing Stock Transfers, Regeneration and State-Led Gentrification in London

This article examines housing stock transfers from local authorities to registered social landlords in relation to regeneration and state-led gentrification in London. The article traces the inter-linkages between social rental housing provision, gentrification and neoliberalism. These inter-linkages are illustrated via an examination of the contestation over stock transfer and housing redevelopment in two New Deal for Communities regeneration schemes in London.
