Love it or loathe it, Croydon is a remarkable place. The result of radical architectural and urban experiments in the 1960s, it is a strange, challenging and unique piece of city.
In the second of a two-part documentary from the Architecture Foundation, Phineas Harper investigates Croydon’s future, and the role the unusual local authority is playing.
This documentary is made possible thanks to the generous support of HawkinsBrown, an architecture firm actively engaged in improving the future of Croydon.
