Description
This book highlights the latest thinking from Will Alsop OBE RA, one of the most debated architects and urban thinkers working today. The man behind Liverpools Fourth Grace, Manchesters Millennium Village, and the dramatic re-thinking of Bradford and Barnsley city centres, Alsops ideas are about to literally re-shape areas of the Northwest as his current projects take shape and his thinking becomes wider in scope.
In this title, Alsop discusses his unique concept of the "SuperCity", a vision for the future of the Northwests cities. In his vision, Alsop sees all the cities along the northern corridor from Liverpool to Hull existing as members of a larger singular entity - the SuperCity, which redefines the very concept of a city and the quality of life for the people who live there.
He also discusses some of the forms that this SuperCity might take, what it could look like, how it could function, and how it could vastly improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in it.
