Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to explore the ways in which we can understand heritage as an underlying theme in the development of policy relating to housing-led regeneration in the UK. I will discuss how the architectural design of homes created by this process of policy and image making are influenced by nods to heritage in ways that produce and reproduce particular social and cultural effects. The key contention proposed is that heritage-led narratives have the unintentional consequence of excluding non-dominant narratives, particularly those that are counter-cultural or non-economically or socially dominant.
