It was subtitled 'Life on the new American frontier', and it caused a huge stir on both sides of the Atlantic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn it, he identified a new kind of place - often yet to be recorded on a road atlas - that was shaping the way Americans lived. But what about the UK? Has the erosion of our planning system - not to mention the covid lockdowns, and our crumbling high streets - been sending us in a similar direction? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Boyle and Lesley Yarranton both followed the debate from opposite sides of the world, when the UK shuddered at the edge city idea. But a great deal has changed since then. This book takes them in search of a British version of a big American ideal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith a foreword by Sue Pritchard, chief executive of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Yarranton, David Boyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912119463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912119462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Real Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Lesley Yarranton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254908743935,"sku":"9781912119462","price":10.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8300df59-ab8a-4253-b31a-daa2b0f824c9.jpg?v=1694615026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edge-city-uk-lesley-yarranton-9781912119462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
