Anna Minton. GROUND CONTROL

Acclaimed journalist Anna Minton presents her book Ground Control. Fear and Happiness in the Twenty-First Century City (Penguin 2009), an in-depth exploration of the state of Britain today, revealing how untested urban planning is transforming not only our cities, but the very nature of public space, of citizenship and of trust. Has this 'regeneration'  really made our lives better, or has it fuelled a housing crisis, and intensified social divisions?

black country creative advantage is a 2-year initiative of reflection and practice in public art of the Centre for Art, Design, Research and Experimentation at the University of Wolverhampton in partnership with the community arts organisation Multistory and supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. We are grateful to The Public for hosting this event.
