Are segregated playgrounds the new 'poor doors'?
Segregated play spaces are to be banned in all future London housing developments, the Greater London Authority (GLA) has revealed this week. The policy, part of the London Plan for developers and local authorities across the city, follows outrage across the political spectrum at the case of the Lilian Baylis estate in Kennington. [...] families living in the social housing side of the estate were not allowed to use the play area or any communal spaces on the development.
"It is disgraceful that children who live in the same development would ever be prevented from playing together," London Mayor Sadiq Khan told The Guardian.
The case of the segregated play areas at this London housing development (and several others) — only children from Lilian Baylis estate's 'affordable' units were denied access to seemingly communal amenities and spaces — brings back memories of 'poor doors.'
