 | | When the Lansbury estate in the east end of London opened in 1951 it was the Festival of Britain's living architecture exhibit, a post-war vision of community living. |
 | | To celebrate the estate's 50th birthday, Leaside Regeneration has organised a programme of events throughout the summer, culminating in the Living Architecture 2001 conference to be attended by, among others, (Lord) Richard Rogers. |
 | | The redevelopment of the site, named after the late George Lansbury, Labour MP for Bow in the inter-war years, was the brainchild of architect Frederick Gibberd, who had been involved in the redevelopment of Nuneaton, in Warwickshire, and the creation of Harlow new town, Essex. |
