Overview:
Using case studies from the political campaigns of Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, David Cameron, this book represents a ground-breaking analysis of the relationship between social policy, architecture, politics and the media. It will be essential reading for scholars in politics, sociology, architectural theory, urban planning, media and communication studies.
It is premised on the investigating the controversial and, at times, polemic relationship between social policy, politics and the media through the unique prism of architecture and urban design. Considered through examples of the political imagery confected for politicians in the democracies of the United States and the United Kingdom, it suggests these images give us a better understanding of recent developments in the Western political economy and social policy on the one hand, and the architectural and urban developments of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries on the other.
