Reviews

'This is a carefully-researched study of the housing consequences of the London Olympics Games for East London. Despite some benefits for local people, the overall winners have been private sector developers and the already comparatively-advantaged from elsewhere in London seeking out the city's last affordable housing market. Although not a story of untrammelled gentrification, the fully justified story line is to those who hath shall be given .' Tim Butler, King's College London, UK 'Various aspects of the 2012 London Olympics' housing legacy have been discussed previously, but Penny Bernstock's book provides the first comprehensive overview of this important topic. It is based on a meticulous analysis of a wide range of original and secondary data sources and as such it makes a substantial contribution towards our understanding of both the 2012 Olympics and the rapidly changing housing and social landscape of East London.' Paul Watt, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
