520 _aExplores 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.
