Reviews

Nothing is more subject to gross generalisation and hostile misrepresentation than the story of British high-rise. Holly Smith's exemplary case studies and judicious summary provide nuance and complexity and genuine insight. If you really want to understand multi-storey Britain - its positives, negatives and contradictions - read this book. -- John Boughton, author of <i>Municipal Dreams</i>
