Ben Campkin is the Director of UCL’s cross-disciplinary Urban Laboratory and Senior Lecturer in Architectural History and Theory at the Bartlett School of Architecture. In his new book Remaking London, Campkin focuses on contemporary regeneration areas, places that have been key to the capital’s modern identity but that are now being drastically reconfigured. Rather than simply analysing these tensions in the current political climate, he discusses them in relation to the context of their historical urbanisation.
