The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Routledge Revivals) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781138778948)

First published in 1990, this title presents the personal reflections of renowned community architect Rod Hackney, who for many years served as President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Educated in the Modernist tradition of architecture in Denmark, Hackney's return to England in the 1970s changed his outlook completely; whole communities had been torn apart by massive destruction of Victorian terraces, and relocated to grim tower block estates. Determined to save Britain's inner cities, he has been a major influence on Prince Charles and a powerful spokesman for the silent majority of the urban poor, who often have no say as to where and how they live.
