Focusing on urban regeneration, the book examines the redevelopment of London Docklands as a model that has influenced global city planning. It critiques the prevalent high-cost mixed-use developments that often prioritize corporate interests over community needs. Highlighting cases from Australia, Canada, and Germany, it reveals how many cities have squandered opportunities for meaningful public engagement in redevelopment. The author argues that better urban development is possible, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing local needs and public interest in revitalizing deindustrialized waterfronts.
