Docklands (ADT guides) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A critical guide to the development of London's Docklands, with an examination of the way in which the opportunities provided by the relaxation of planning regulations and the financial inducements offered were exploited. The immense scale of the London Docklands urban renewal programme is acknowledged here as are aspects of the controversy which arose over the transformation of the rundown riverside areas. The author focuses on both the outstanding individual buildings and on those which exemplify more general trends which emerged from the development. The book is intended for the use of architects, architecture students, planners and the public visiting Docklands.
