Slums and Redevelopment (1992) moves between national policy formation and detailed local studies, particularly of London, studies involving landlords and property, tenants and rehousing, and the implementation of programmes. The interwar period it examines saw the restoration of slum clearance following a period of opposition, and the onset of the first national slum clearance programme, reaching its climax in the plans for large-scale redevelopment mad during World War II. Inner city redevelopment of this kind had its intellectual origins in the 1930s, and had much wider repercussions for property and social policy.
