Jigsaw cities big places, small spaces
Power, Anne
Jigsaw cities big places, small spaces - Bristol Policy Press 2007 - xiii, 264p. ill. 24cm.
How did we get here? -- Where are we now? -- Where do we go from here?
Explores Britain's urban and global communities as interlocking pieces of a complex jigsaw, which are hard to see apart but are also deeply unequal. Discusses how cities became so unequal and how housing and neighbourhood decay can be reversed. Uses Birmingham, as a model of pioneering urban order and a victim of Modernist planning, to explore the origins of Britain's divided cities, the reasons why one size does not fit all in the cities of the future, and the potential for smart growth, mixed communities and sustainable cities.
