I remember seeing Ian Nairn on TV and enjoyed the essays from the 1960s on Manchester, Newcastle and the burghs of Fife. The piece about the Quay Side and Grey Street, Newcastle, was most enjoyable and hit a nerve. The original essays have been updated - in 2013 - by Owen Hatherley. I feel the need to go back to the cities and see them for myself but I probably won't. So much else to do - and some seem to have deteriorated. Perhaps I'll pay Llanidloes a visit. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"A new dition of Britain's Changing Towns (1967), introduced, edited and updated by Owen Hatherley. 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."--Publisher description.
