Behind the facade
A collaborative research project is an impact assessment of publicly funded small scale urban interventions which took place in North London between 2012 – 2014. Our interests lie in the moment when regeneration schemes meet the independent structures of the high street – how the language and resilience and the ‘democracy’ of the space is affected. We are comparing and reflecting on different delivery strategies and the relationship between funders, designers and traders.
