laurakirsop: I downloaded the book Tower Block by Miles Glendinning and Stefan Muthesius, thanks to a link on the 20th Century Society blog. So far I’ve only looked at the photographs and plans but it’s a super detailed analysis of the politics and economics that led to the widespread building of tower blocks last century; definitely worth a download! Completely irrelevant, but I grew up in the London Borough of Enfield.
