- In 1969 the first residents moved into the Barbican estate.
It was built as a residential zone after the area was destroyed by bombs in World War Two.
Fifty years later residents are celebrating the history of the estate and its "unique spirit".

Shows the ‘streets in the sky concept’ can work if the people frequenting the development have the right mindset to life.
So many others have failed was some of that down to the class of people?
Controversial to say but something to ponder.
Frankly some people deserves the slums they live in. They turned streets in the sky into slums.
Agree & don’t think what you are saying is controversial. Some of the general bad reputation of high rises was also due to bad design but yeah you could stick dickheads in mansions & they would still end up like sh1tholes, so it’s definitely something to do with the general mindset of these ‘people’.

How do you get an ‘up market’ council estate? If the residents had that much money why did they need a council flat?
It's the other way around - the local authority (Corporation of London) wanted to bring a permanent residential population back into the City, so they built a large estate of quite nice flats to rent at 'market rents' (=same as on the private market, not discounted) to middle-class and upper-middle class people. So technically a council estate (built and rented by a council), but... not really.
It was built for the middle classess hence its stood the test of time.
A middle class council estate, I think these folk have been fooled.
in what way?
@fab Visually, a street of two-up two-down Victorian terraces looks much like one of 5-bed terraced houses. The difference, like between the Barbican and socail housing estates, is in the specification, the size of the dwellings, the maintenance, the thought going into the design, and the community
