The urban state of the nation - from Olympic dreams to broken Britain
This is what austerity looks like: a nation surviving on the results of what conservatives privately call "the progressive nonsense" of the Big Society agenda.<br>In a journey that begins and ends in the capital, but takes in Belfast, Aberdeen, Plymouth and Brighton, Hatherley explores modern Britain’s urban landscape and finds a short-sighted disarray of empty buildings, malls and glass towers. Yet while <i>A New Kind of Bleak</i> anatomizes "broken Britain," Hatherley also looks to a hopeful future and discovers fragments of what it might look like.<br>Illustrated by Laura Oldfield Ford, author and artist of <i>Savage Messiah</i>.
