Description
Organisers' description :
Britons are increasingly aware of living in a society plagued by fear and unhappiness. Could our towns and cities be the cause? Anna Minton offers an in-depth and passionate exploration of the state of Britain today, revealing how private companies have taken control from local government and the electorate, creating spaces designed for profit and watched over by CCTV. Now, untested urban planning has transformed not only our cities, but the very nature of public space, of citizenship, and of trust.
Anna Minton is an award-winning journalist and the author of numerous reports for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Demos, as well as the book
Ground control : Fear and happiness in the 21st century city.
Michael Rosen is an author and broadcaster.
