Appendix- A little local history; Maps and diagramsReviews'A rare report from the frontier of urban change' - Simon Jenkins, Times Literary Supplement 'An impassioned account...laid out in an ingenious format which owes something to documentary film... The language of thrillers applies to it: it was, indeed, hard to put down.' - Richard North, The Listener 'A thorough... very readable... well-documented case study... A book about planning that actually looks interesting as well.' - Richard Adam, Planning 'The book is alive with the furious emotion that Tolmers Square did - and still does - inspire in everyone involved. It is a drama as well as a documentary...a fascinating tale.' - Liz Forgan, Times Educational Supplement 'A story of great importance precisely because in its essentials it could be repeated for scores of other inner city areas... An essential piece of reading for all those trying to change the features of incredible waste and gross inhumanity characterising so many of our inner-city areas.' - Ann Holmes, Labour Weekly 'Required reading for Urban Studies for some time to come.' - Richard Hobin, Architects' Journal 'An extremely important book' - London Free Press 'An excellent source book.' - Michael Edwards, Architectural Design 'Already something of a period classic.' - Reyner Banham, New Society Author InformationWates, Nick Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
