Higgins Construction - News Room - News Headlines Housing academic inspects £40m project 15.03.2007 In the same week that housing academic Professor Anne Power of the London School of Economics launched her latest book co-authored with John Houghton, "Jigsaw Cities: Big Places, Small Spaces (CASE Studies on Poverty, Place & Policy): Big Places, Small Spaces (CASE Studies on Poverty, Place & Policy) (Paperback)," she was the latest VIP to see Southern Housing Group’s (SHG) £40 million redevelopment of Market Estate being carried out in Islington by Higgins Construction PLC on Tuesday 13 March.
