The Church Commissioners’ Impact on Stoke Newington’s Urban Development by Wayne Fortune
The talk outlines the impact of Church Commissioners on the urban development of Stoke Newington, detailing their history, functions, and the evolution of the Stoke Newington estate. Initially aimed at protecting property values and attracting affluent residents, the Commissioners' approach shifted due to urban deterioration and demographic changes, resulting in a more pragmatic stance on development. Key themes include the challenges faced by the area, such as overcrowding and the decline of quality housing.
