Nairn’s Towns by Ian Nairn

Introduction by Owen Hatherley

A new edition of Britain's Changing Towns (1967), introduced, edited and updated by Owen Hatherley: "These essays show him 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."

Includes chapters on Birmingham, Newcastle, Canterbury, Manchester, Glasgow, Cumbernauld New Town, Llanidloes, Sheffield, Plymouth, Borough of St Marylebone, Chester, Derry, Brighton, Cardiff, Liverpool, Norwich, the burghs of Fife, Cologne, Rotterdam, Munich, Milan, Caen, St Malo, Le Havre, and  Zurich.

London, 2013, 19 x 12 cm, illustrated, 240pp. Hardback.
