'In this detailed exploration of London's South Bank, Jones provides a timely exploration of what is a truly public or social space. Navigating issues of design, politics, ethnography, finance, planning and performance, On South Bank is a thoughtful and timely contribution to our understanding of both the South Bank itself and public spaces in general.' Iain Borden, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UK 'On South Bank: The Production of Public Space, by Alasdair J. H. Jones, is a compelling read, which explores the tensions between the coming of public space as a design subject and its concomital erosion, transfiguration and closing down by forces more powerful than its everyday users and architects ... As both an academic and ordinary member of the public, I would recommend On South Bank to a wide and diverse audience'. Journal of Urbanism
