| Description: |
Sixteen short essays on places as varied as Glasgow and Norwich, Llanidloes and Sheffield, by the finest architectural writer of the twentieth century forming a lively introduction to many of the best towns and cities around the UK. Nairn's Towns has been an NHE best seller in hardback since 2013. |
| Synopsis: |
In this new paperback edition of Britain's Changing Towns (1967), introduced, edited and updated by Owen Hatherley in 2013 these essays show Nairn writing about cities and towns as wholes rather than as collections of individual buildings. In each of them, there are several things happening at once - assessments of historic townscape, capsule reviews of new buildings, attempts to find the specific character of each place. Hatherley can dish it out with the best of Nairn when it comes to detailing the dreadful regeneration programmes, empty civic boosterism, shoddy shopping malls, PFI hospitals, and cheap volume house-building schemes which have continued to blight these towns and cities since the 1960s, which Nairn presciently anticipated. |
