Description

The city of Birmingham offers a particularly rich case study on urban regeneration as it strives to build a new city image.

Positioned between decline and regeneration, the landscape of the city and its environs collages old and new, producing dramatic contrasts - of industrial and post-industrial urbanisms of crumbling brutalism and spectacular flagship developments, of Victorian housing and diverse cultural lifestyles - that compound the aesthetic and socio-economic means of regeneration.

This visually exciting book also reflects upon and extends current debates about public space, cultural zoning and the futures of cities.
