PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ben Campkin is the author of Remaking London: Decline and Regeneration in London, which in 2014 won the Urban Communication Foundation Jane Jacobs Award and was Commended in the Royal Institute for British Architects President’s Awards for Research. Ben is Professor of History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UK, and Co-Director of UCL’s Urban Laboratory.
This terrific book deftly unpicks the shifting and unequal forces - from LGBTQ+ activism to clunky planning processes and neo-liberal urban redevelopment - that have affected the survival or closure of London's queer venues since the 1980s. Professor Campkin's fine-grained and authoritative analysis illuminates our understanding of London's queer nightlife and will reshape queer urban studies. * Alison Oram, Institute of Historical Research, University of London, UK * In these pages lives a network of places that scale up into structures of urban governance, planning, and queer infrastructure in London. The clever move to examine the heritage values of these LGBTQ+ venues enables Campkin to show the collectivist project of placemaking initiatives. An absolute tour de force. * Amin Ghaziani, Professor of Sociology, University of British Columbia *
