Description

This book is about the ways in which we can make our cities more liveable and more enjoyable. The most direct way is to improve the surfaces of the city, that is, to decorate. The Uses of Decoration draws on examples of urban decoration from London, New York and other western cities, contrasting them with examples from Africa in order to arrive at an underlying aesthetic of urban decoration.
