Description
Remaking London offers a thought-provoking historical account of urban regeneration in London. Ben Campkin explores how decline and renewal have been imagined and realised at different scales, focusing on present-day regeneration areas that have shaped the capital's modern identity. Through a diverse range of sources, including journalism, photography, cinema, theatre, architectural design, advertising, and television, Campkin illuminates how ideas of decline drive urban change. This engaging book provides a compelling account of contested sites from London's recent history and offers a powerful critique of contemporary regeneration. Richly illustrated and written with clarity, Remaking London is an insightful exploration of the complexities surrounding urban renewal in one of the world's great cities.
