Paul Watt spoke at the fully booked Royal Academy of Arts debate on ‘Forgotten Estates: how Britain’s post-war housing estates have become a battleground of differing political and architectural ideologies’, on 26th September 2016.

This event saw a panel of speakers explore the changing status of Britain’s post-war housing estates, as increasing numbers are threatened with redevelopment. Particular focus was paid to Robin Hood Gardens (completed 1972), which after years of neglect is facing imminent demolition despite campaigns to protect it.
