Ground Control

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Ground Control by Anna Minton, published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2012. This compelling 288-page paperback delves into the impact of modern urban planning on our cities and communities. Minton explores whether the rise of gleaming business districts, mega malls, and gated developments has truly led to 'regeneration' or if it has deepened social divisions and heightened our fears of one another.

Through an engaging analysis, Ground Control challenges readers to reconsider the evolving nature of public space, citizenship, and trust in today's urban landscapes. Minton's exploration of social conditions and community life in Great Britain offers a critical perspective for anyone interested in city planning and the sociology of urban environments. Join the conversation about the future of our cities and the role of community in shaping a more inclusive society.
