An essay on New Addington, Croydon and the London green belt. The essay refers to the UK Land Cover atlas, which shows that 6% of land is classified as ‘built-up’, covering uses such as buildings, roads, airports and quarries. This leaves over 90% of land with designations such as pasture, grassland, heathland and forest. The essay questions the colour ‘green’ and its representation in planning and suburban life.
