Description

Towns have undergone dramatic and rapid change over the last century. Declining historic cores are surrounded by sprawling low-density housing, industrial and retail estates. The character and sense of place at the heart of rural towns and villages is under threat. By drawing people away from town centres, these developments erode the sense of community and public life. This book demonstrates how contemporary architecture, community engagement and thoughtful urban design can contribute to the creation of thriving small communities. It addresses a lack of inspiration and ideas for architects and designers working in small communities and promotes a character-based approach to designing and planning 21st century towns.

Author Biography:

Dr. Matthew Jones is Associate Professor at the Birmingham School of Architecture and Design, Birmingham City University and a partner at Coombs Jones Architects. He is an architect whose practice, research and teaching have focused on place specific approaches to the development of rural towns. Matthew led the award winning Ruthin Future, a project to develop long term vision for the future of the North Wales town. He has experience in socially engaged and participatory place making, community-led planning, public engagement and university-community live projects. Matthew was a judge for the RIBA President's Awards for Research 2017 and is an Advocate in Practice for Design Commission for Wales.
