There Goes The Neighbourhood ft. Les Back

Postcode paraphernalia – check! Neighbourhood nationalism – check! Commodified cities? All here. We are very excited to be joined by iconic sociologist Les Back as he reflects on his much beloved, but equally cursed, House of Catford bottle opener. When did we start wearing I Love *insert misc. borough* branded t-shirts? How do we tell the difference between grassroots projects, and the property developers that try to sell us profitable images of gentrified districts? Dan, Kasia and Les go on a journey through Slewisham, The Cronx, and Pecknarm to find out.
