The social housing policies in the UK deliberately tried to tackle social segregation. You would see council blocks 2 streets away in the poshest of the areas.

South Asian and Caribbean populations are overrepresented as users of social housing in London as the jobs they were brought in to do don't exist anymore.

Interesting. That is probably the reason why ex-councel houses are rented out for so much money after they are bought from the council. They are often in very desirable areas.

I wonder what the measurable/measured effects of this deliberate integrated housing system have been. I.e. there most have been some objects, and I wonder if they were met.
