Park Hill Streets in The Sky was opened in 1961, the year I was born and was designed to home 3000 people in the 1000 social housing flats. Over the years manufacturing industries who needed human workers moved to other countries or automated and the utopian hopes for it’s community shattered.
 
I visited for the first time in 2015  and in the PhotoArt Zine there are 48 images showing the whole experience.
