Resumo

The purpose of this report is to shed light on the approach of Latin Elephant in the city of London and our experiences working directly with groups impacted by a form of regeneration that excludes Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and other economically disadvantaged groups in processes of urban change during the COVID 19 pandemic. In this report we consider the role that research, community activism and protest have to play in our search for social and spatial justice around gentrification in London.
