Dispersal by Marion Davies

Photographers Marion Davies and Debra Rapp documented 60 of these small businesses from belt-making, zinc- galavanising, kebab-making and salmon smoking before they were forced to move from the area in 2007.
In times when the pace of urban redevelopment is increasing, 'Dispersal' raises awareness of the human and physical effects produced by regeneration projects as they rapidly sweep away large areas of citiesIt emphasizes the importance of recording urban landscapes before they vanish, as well as the histories of those who will be displaced, so that we can reflect on the processes of change. ... provides a valuable tool with which to focus the attention of planners and development authorities on the human, as opposed to purely physical, impacts of those processes.
