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?

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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.
