Inclusive Spaces: Why is cultural heritage under threat in London?
28 Apr 2021, 13:00 – 14:00
In this event we’ll examine the nexus between ethnic minority spaces, London heritage policies (both local and city-wide), and the creative industries.
We’ll share recent research findings on what is described as gentrification through 'hipsterfication', and its impact on ethnic minority spaces in London's East End – notably Brick Lane's Banglatown.
Parallels with other 'ethnic majority' areas will also be explored, in collaboration with the Just Space Network, an informal alliance of around 80 community groups, campaigns and concerned independent organisations acting as a voice for Londoners at grass-roots level.
