Summary:
Construction has emerged as a mainstream political issue. Yet the building trade is one of the world’s weakest: it is fragmented, barely globalised and behind other sectors in introducing disruptive innovations to its basic processes. The modest worldwide scale of prefabricated building confirms how construction remains a 19th century affair, not a 21st century one.(...)

Summary:
Construction has emerged as a mainstream political issue. Yet the building trade is one of the world’s weakest: it is fragmented, barely globalised and behind other sectors in introducing disruptive innovations to its basic processes. The modest worldwide scale of prefabricated building confirms how construction remains a 19th century affair, not a 21st century one. Drawing on the latest technologies that have emerged both inside and outside the sector, "Why is construction so backward?" forms a detailed, practical alternative to the conventional wisdom in building design and urban planning. It is a powerful call for reform, and a sharp attack against architecture as social engineering and environmentalist dogma.

Summary:
In this book, British architecture critic Martin Pawley argues that design innovation and notions of obsolescence and replacement have been subordinated to rules for the benefit of heritage and tourism, resulting in cities which appear classical or Victorian. He claims that only by redefining our values can architecture continue to evolve and remain innovative.
