Reviews

Malcolm Miles' new book builds on more than a decade of writing against the grain of culture led urban regeneration. This book is not only critique but an attempt to reimagine what a progressive future for cities might be and the role of culture in this. As such it shines light across a depressing contemporary landscape but nevertheless finds hope for the future of the city. -- Justin O'Connor Limits to culture is a clear sighted and important contribution. At last, a much needed corrective to the narrative of the 'creative class'. I really recommend it. -- Anna Minton, Reader in Architecture at the University of East London and author of Ground Control
