How To Save Our Town Centres: A Radical Agenda For The Future Of High Streets

Has the Internet killed our main streets? Have our town and city centers become obsolete? This book looks beyond the empty commercial buildings and ?hop local?campaigns to focus on the real issues: how the relationship between people and places is changing; how business is done and who benefits; and how the use and ownership of land affects us all. Written in an engaging and accessible style and incorporating numerous original interviews,How to Save Our Town Centres sets out a comprehensive and coherent agenda for long-term, citizen-led change. It will be vital reading for policy makers and researchers alike, and anyone interested in planning, architecture and the built environment, economic development, and community participation.
