How to Save Our Town Centres: A Radical Agenda for the Future of High Streets
Autor Julian Dobsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 feb 2015
Has the Internet killed our main streets? Have our town and city centers become obsolete? This book looks beyond the empty commercial buildings and “shop local” campaigns to focus on the real issues: how the relationship between people and places is changing; how business is done and who benefits; and how the use and ownership of land affects us all. Written in an engaging and accessible style and incorporating numerous original interviews, How to Save Our Town Centres sets out a comprehensive and coherent agenda for long-term, citizen-led change. It will be vital reading for policy makers and researchers alike, and anyone interested in planning, architecture and the built environment, economic development, and community participation.

Cuprins
Part One: Today It took a riot
Thanks for the memories
To market, to market
Lost in the supermarket
Declaring independence
Part Two: Tomorrow Raise a glass to the new economy
The unexpected buzz in the library
The space in between
A place to live
Reclaiming the land
If we had a little money
From ‘me’ towns to ‘we’ towns.

Recenzii
“A significant and important book that is entertainingly and engagingly written. Dobson critiques, dissects, and then rebuilds the state of our high streets and town centres, arguing coherently for new, locally based, ground-up reconstruction of place and community, and challenges us all to get involved.”
“The debate about high streets has become completely stuck. By setting it in a wider context about the places we might want to live in the future, Dobson has relaunched it in a really exciting way.”
“It’s brilliant. I recommend it hugely. Buy copies for everyone on your local council.”
“This is a fascinating and important book—a primer for the reinvigoration of local economies and high streets. At last a refreshing alternative to the official narrative of the decline of the high street.”
"The book is an impassioned plea for a new approach to high streets, based on a lifetime of research, consultancy and observations of what makes high streets tick."
“From Brixton to Brazil, Dobson provides a positive plethora of examples from the retail world to help illustrate what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to saving town centers.”
