Abstract
The division between the spheres of production and of social reproduction and consumption is common in social geography. In this paper it is argued that a more complete view of social reality and of social change may be gained by looking at links between these spheres in a given locality. This contention is supported by a case study of some of the housing policies of the London Docklands Development Corporation. This government-sponsored agency, it is argued, set out to affect a simultaneous transformation of both spheres in its area of operation. The implications of this policy are discussed.
