Homes, Cities and Neighbourhoods

Planning and the Residential Landscapes of Modern Britain

Produktbeschreibung

While Homes, Cities and Neighbourhoods provides a unique and comprehensive exploration of housing and planning from 1900 through to the present, it is more than a history of ideas and debates. Drawn from an eclectically wide range of information sources, it puts forward a lively and readable account of the changing urban landscapes of modern Britain.
