This book is an objective and entertaining assessment of the city' s architectural history and recent regeneration, taking the reader on a journey of the city which was once proud and wealthy, then declined into ruin, and is now visibly resurgent. Written by Stephen Bayley, The Observer' s architecture and design correspondent, it is beautifully illustrated with photos and plans of the city.

This is a valuable and enlightening book for professionals, academics, journalists and anyone interested in understanding the context of the recent regeneration of Liverpool.
