Title: Industrial Obsolescence the Rochdale Approach
Description: Rochdale MBC 1979 85pp, numerous maps and coloured drawings 21x30, comb bound with glossy cover Very good A very interesting example of the new approaches to planning that emerged in the mid-1970s. Instead of the 'sweeping away' of older parts of towns and cities, the approach that Rochdale were exploring was a more sensitive remaking of former industrial areas; as the introduction puts it, "no longer was new seen as intrinsically good".
