Summary:

"In City Reborn: Architecture and Regeneration in London, from Bankside to Dulwich, renowned architecture writer and critic Kenneth Powell tells the story of one of Britain's most dynamic and successful areas of regeneration. While this architectural renaissance is evident most publicly along the south bank of the Thames, it extends throughout the borough of Southwark, from Walworth to Peckham and from Bermondsey to Dulwich. Its impact can be seen in the creation of some of London's most superb cultural venues, the revival of warehouses for residential and commercial use, and the generation of a wealth of stunning new - and already iconic - projects."
"Beginning with a brief architectural history of the borough, from its origins as a suburb of Roman London, through the medieval and Tudor periods, to its rapid growth and later decline as a district of docks and industry from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the focus moves to a local history of modern architecture, from the inter-war period to the present. The core of the book then describes and illustrates more than forty-five key architectural projects that have been built in Southwark since 1980"--Jacket.
