The four authors of this book all played key roles in the development of the project and together they describe how and why King's Cross Central came about. Beginning by setting out Kings Cross's rich and complex history, the book then provides fascinating insights from the main protagonists, from initial concept, based on an innovative mixed-use approach based on ten guiding principles which set out the 'human city'; through its evolution with various stakeholders involved; the complex negotiations regarding planning, conservation and financing; to the development and creation of the public spaces and landscapes and the selection of individual architects and buildings which, together with the renovation of historical buildings, has created Kings Cross's unique and successful character.
