Park Hill: Who lives here now? BBC News
The giant concrete estate of Park Hill in Sheffield started life as a bustling new home for council tenants in the 1960s. The BBC filmed a landmark documentary there in 1965, interviewing the families who had moved out of slum housing to live in the “streets in the sky”. But Park Hill soon took a turn for the worse – it became notorious for its crime and drug problems. The Brutalist building was eventually condemned as a concrete eyesore.
Now, 55 years since it was built, Park Hill is flourishing again. But who lives there now and how much has the place changed?

Poland’s president is among those calling for Ukraine to be granted EU membership, as an estimated 200,000 refugees have crossed into Poland.
One couple at the border, originally from Morocco and living in Ukraine, told the BBC how they have spent over 24 hours on a train followed by a 70km walk to reach the border where refugees were separated into different queues, one for Ukrainians and one for non Ukrainians. The couple have now entered Poland.

Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests in the occupied West Bank.
The number of Palestinians killed in confrontations with Israelis this year, in the area, is already more than 70 – the highest figure in five years.
The worst hotspot for violence has been in the Palestinian village of Beita, where locals began organising the recent protests after hard-line Jewish settlers set up a new outpost on land claimed by Palestinian olive farmers.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell reports.

At least 734 people have died and more than 2,400 people are missing in Nepal, local officials say, after flash floods on Wednesday, triggered by a glacier collapse.
In Tibet, the official death toll is 16, with 546 reported to be missing, according to Chinese state media.
Nearly 20,000 security forces are deployed in rescue efforts on the Nepal-Tibet border as the UN says rough terrain and rain is making aid delivery “extremely difficult”.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

So much corruption within Sheffield City Council they've set up to destroy lives absolutely horrific full on narcissists heartless with no compassion nothing shy of evil it needs to be said because it's true they've ruined me and many others they make me physically sick

The development its self was, and still is, huge, hideous and rather soul destroying, "streets in the sky" idea or not. That being said, if they have been fitted out nicely inside and people want to make another go of it then fair play to them. At least you don't have to look at it when you are inside. I expect with what it will cost to live there nowadays it will be a very different demographic that live there now than in it's previous itteration, so the social consequences should (in theory) be quite different, what with affluent middle class types CHOOSING to live there rather than the socially and economically deprived being dumped there. Good luck to them. But it was, and always will be (as most of these 1950s/60s public housing schemes were) a cold, hard concrete eyesore of a building, grade 2 listed status or not!

They should have kept park hill in use and gave them to the homeless instead of clearing it for the sake of it

It was the wrong kind of people that the council moved in to created slum of Parkhill, not the building itself. Glad they were all evicted and families moved to better housing.

These developments only become decent places to live with gentrification and thousands of develop development investment put in then nothing like what the council would do ever look at the Barbican now with Fountains in the gardens barbecue areas et cetera nothing like the paper they were intended for

I lived on a council estate in the 1970s. It was a shit hole. Utterly depressing. I now live in suburbia, but hopefully I'll make my why out into the sticks, where i can pry what little land we do have in England doesn't get covered in concrete.

Given 'listed status' ( ha! ) then given heritage money to do it up, then sold on to private tenants.
What a scam.

But wheres the the sense of community that the old Park Hill was all about?. No shopping area or pubs from what I see. Just posh boxes for people to hide themselves in.

When these blocks are run properly they do work. the problem is in the past they were a dumping ground. Id love to live here, but i bet is not people in need owning them anymore.

Whoever subtitled this video needs to get down from their high horse. It comes across as though you're trying to one up the people speaking. Just leave the wording exactly how they're said.
