Urban Flux

Authors:	Matthew Gandy

Abstract:	In the 21st century, why does the type of poverty and human exploitation most readily associated with Dickensian London or the ‘dark Satanic Mills’ of Victorian England still persist today? Matthew Gandy , Professor of Geography at University College London, and Director of the UCL Urban Laboratory, lifts the lid on the unevenness of global development, revealing why contemporary urban space continues to be characterised by landscapes of neglect interspersed with areas of intense investment and consumption.
