The Closest to Heaven.
My final major project for university focussed on Tony Parker’s ‘The People of Providence’. The book comprises of interviews recorded by Parker over the two years he spent at the Brandon Housing Estate in Southwark, London, about the effects of living in a high-rise building. The estate was nicknamed ‘Providence’ as it was supposed to be an ideal place to live, with all the amenities the residents could need and views over London, however everything quickly went South, and it is now considered the most dangerous housing estate in the whole city.
