Foundations 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 build a midcentury developmental state and shaping the rise of neoliberalism after 1980. Taking readers to almost every major British city as well as to places in the United States and Britain's empire, Foundations highlights how Britain's modern history was forged by the everyday spaces where people lived, worked, and shopped.
