Broadwater Farm, often referred to simply as "The Farm", is an area in Tottenham, North London, straddling the River Moselle. The eastern half of the area is dominated by the Broadwater Farm Estate ("BWFE"), an experiment in high-density social housing, loosely based on Corbusian ideas, dominated by concrete towers connected by walkways, built in the late 1960s using cheap but fire-vulnerable pre-fabricated concrete panels. The western half of the area is taken up by Lordship Recreation Ground, one of north London's largest parks. Broadwater Farm in 2011 had a population of 4,844. The estate is owned by Haringey London Borough Council. Following the publication of Alice Coleman's Utopia on Trial in 1985, the area acquired a reputation as one of the worst places to live in the United Kingdom. This perception was exacerbated when serious rioting erupted later that year. After the 1985 riot there was a major redevelopment programme, after which crime rates initially fell. However, it is still associated with gangs with numerous stabbings and other violent crime occurring in and around the area. Well known for its large Afro-Caribbean heritage, it is one of the most ethnically diverse locations in London; in 2005 its official population of 3,800 included residents of 39 different nationalities. Broadwater Farm was completed in the early 1970s and built using the same Taylor Woodrow-Anglian system of prefabricated panels as Ronan Point. In June 2018, following tests conducted after the Grenfell Tower fire, Haringey Council announced hundreds of families would have to be evacuated because eleven of the towers are at risk of catastrophic collapse in the event of a fire. At least two may have to be demolished. (en) Broadwater Farm, a menudo referida simplemente como "The Farm" ("La granja"), es un área de Tottenham, Londres Norte, que linda con el río Moselle. La mitad oriental del área está dominada por el Broadwater Farm Estate ("BWFE"), un experimento de alojamientos sociales de alta densidad construido a finales de los años 60. La mitad occidental del área está ocupado, en su mayoría por el , uno de los parques más grandes de Londres. En 2011, Broadwater Farm tenía una población de 4.844 habitantes. La zona adquirió la reputación de ser una de las peores áreas para vivir en el Reino Unido tras la publicación de Utopia on trial, de , en 1985, una percepción que empeoró cuando, más tarde aquel mismo año, hubo disturbios graves en el vecindario. Sin embargo, tras un importante programa de re desarrollo, las tasas del crimen en la zona han caído drásticamente, con un índice de robos de virtualmente el cero por ciento. También es una de las áreas más diversas étnicamente de Londres. En 2005, su población oficial de 3.800 personas incluía residentes de 39 nacionalidades distintas. (es) |
