This is a history of twentieth-century Britain told through the rise, fall, and reinvention of six different types of urban space: the industrial estate, shopping precinct, council estate, private flats, shopping mall, and suburban office park. Sam Wetherell shows how these spaces transformed Britain's politics, economy, and society, helping forge a midcentury developmental state and shaping the rise of neoliberalism after 1980.

At the same time I'm not sure that he does a good job making new points. The connecting point of securitisation and spaces being privatised is clearly explained but otherwise I was often unsure about what he was saying. Then there's stuff I disagree with, like accepting the propaganda of the "free market" that a consumerist shopper is a free subject with unconstrained desires, opposing it to the planned shopper looking for a certain basket of goods that was the subject of postwar planning. Idk I think it's a great book for the history but some of the more "critical theory" stuff didn't feel well argued ( )
