We focus on the Doddington Estate in London, a tower block which over the past century has replaced traditional homes and led to widespread social and public health issues among its residents.

London’s Doddington Estate

We explore the public health implications of modern housing. With global warming creating unsafe living environments across the world, new tower blocks that do not account for local needs are likely to transform into public health crises over the coming years. We speak to academics, architects, public health specialists, and government representatives to determine both the importance of this growing problem and what can be done about it. Homes need to change — but changing them in the wrong way will lead everyone to be worse off.
