Better known as, gentrification. These past couple decades have seen the UK's cityscapes changing at an increasingly rapid rate. The Ends (social housing estates) 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— at the expense of the Mandem.

We want to understand how we can deliver changes centred around love, security, opportunity, and prosperity for the Mandem.
Let’s explore together:
