Street cred

A study of people living in the newly renovated Holly Street estate, East London, England, found 93% felt they would stay in their property for a long time compared to 80% of people wishing to leave the estate before the work was started. The 97 million pounds sterling regeneration project will take nine years. It will include 1050 homes for either rent or sale and numerous community facilities such as an under-fives building, a day care centre for the aged and a cafe. Architects Levitt Bernstein Associates were careful to include the community during the whole planning process.
