Descrição: The elimination of these departments from the 1980s had disastrous consequences for British towns and cities, as the majority of new housing and public buildings came to be provided by the private sector, alongside a trickle of "social" housing from housing associations. [...]the LCC really came into its own after the Second World War, when buildings such as the Royal Festival Hall and the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, and hundreds of schools and housing estates were built by the LCC Architects Department, which by the 1950s had become the largest and most powerful of its kind in the world. Advocates of council housing - including the Labour Party, which voted at conference for a Young Labour motion for taking housing associations under local authority control and building three million new council homes - can now point to Goldsmith Street's humble but utopian space and say, "More of that, please." l The LCC's work was emulated worldwide
