The Human Side of Regeneration - London Borough of Enfield

What does regeneration really mean for the people who live through it?

Cllr Ayten Guzel, Cabinet Member for Housing at Enfield Council, shares the human story behind the Alma Estate — how partnership, trust and good design have turned three ageing tower blocks into safe, modern homes that residents helped shape.

She reflects on the real lessons for future projects — the importance of community engagement, the balance between ambition and affordability, and how local authorities can deliver change that lasts.
