David Knight challenges prevailing notions about 'good housing' and 'good communities' by examining what it means to live permanently on the UK's inland waterways... life on the canals is offered as a way to think through de-institutionalised models of dwelling and community - self-created and self-managed, and not tied to land ownership. - from the Introduction by Deepa Naik and Trenton Oldfield.
'Living on Infrastructure: Community and Conlict on the Canal Network' is an essay about 'continuous cruising' on the UK canal network, first published in Critical Cities Vol.2 (2010), edited by Deepa Naik and Trenton Oldfield of This is Not a Gateway.
