Towards an Urban Renaissance

The Urban Task Force, headed by Lord Rogers, one of the UK''s leading architects, was established by the Department of Environment, Transport and Regions (DETR) to stimulate debate about our urban environment and to identify ways of creating urban areas in direct response to people''s needs and aspirations. Their findings, conclusions and recommendations were presented in a final report to Government Ministers in Summer 1999 and form the basis of this important new illustrated book.
