Nabil from www.privatisethemandem.com joins us to explain how gentrification is a threat to culture and identity as we know it.

These past couple decades have seen the UK's cityscapes changing at an increasingly rapid rate. The ends are being replaced with glossy gated-communities, complete with futuristic living facilities, logos and colour palettes to market a glamourous “inner-city living” lifestyle experience (think Elephant & Castle, think Peckham, think Stratford, think Tottenham etc.)— all at the expense of the “mandem”. 

 

However is this a threat to the “ends”?

 

Privatise the Mandem is a manifesto and blueprint detailing how members of our inner-city communities can acquire the freehold of their buildings through legislative tools such as "Collective Enfranchisement" and the "Right-to-Buy/Acquire". The work argues the necessity of collective ownership of the ends as well as detailing the consequences of delivering on the vision.
