Secrets of Concretopia

  • BDP 11 Ducie Street Manchester, England, M1 2JB United Kingdom (map)

Ten years ago Old Street published Concretopia, my journey around the rebuilding of postwar Britain, telling the tale of everything from prefabs to high-rise estates, new towns to brutalist shopping centres, the Festival of Britain to corruption cases. Now, to celebrate a decade of Concretopia Iā€™m going to take the Manchester Modernist Society behind the scenes of writing and researching the book, and to look back on what has happened to our postwar landscape since then. Join me and the modernist for a fun evening of stories, scandals and streets in the sky. Tickets here.
