Large-scale cultural or sporting events are often seen as opportunities for city authorities to initiate far-reaching regeneration plans, and are bitterly fought over. This text explores the subject from a historical and cultural perspective.

Making extensive use of information gained from in-depth interviews with architects active in the period between 1930-1959, this work looks at the modern movement's architectural role in reshaping the fabric and structure of British metropolitan cities in the post-war period.

A collection of theoretical and empirical material, designed to help students understand how "landscapes of defence" fit in with some of the broader concepts of space, power and place. Studies are included on such contentious issues as Northern Ireland, Native-American Indians and nuclear waste.
