Broadwater Farm high-density social housing / council estate in Tottenham, North London, UK, Jul 2015
The Broadwater Farm Estate, a Corbusian experiment in high-density social housing, dominated by concrete towers connected by walkways, built in the late 1960s using cheap but fire-vulnerable pre-fabricated concrete panels. Broadwater Farm in 2011 had a population of 4,844. The estate is owned by Haringey London Borough Council. Broadwater Farm was completed in the early 1970s and built using the same Taylor Woodrow-Anglian system of prefabricated panels as Ronan Point. In June 2018, following tests conducted after the Grenfell Tower fire, Haringey Council announced hundreds of families would have to be evacuated because eleven of the towers are at risk of catastrophic collapse in the event of a fire. At least two may have to be demolished. Source: wiki
