Those people were not just the victims of history, and Thompson displays them as being in control of their own making: "The working class made itself as much as it was made." He also discusses the popular movements that are often forgotten in history, such as obscure Jacobin societies like the London Corresponding Society. Thompson attempts to add a humanist element to social history, being critical of those who turn the people of the working class into an inhuman statistical bloc. ![]() Its tone is captured by the oft-quoted line from the preface: "I am seeking to rescue the poor stockinger, the Luddite cropper, the "obsolete" hand-loom weaver, the "utopian" artisan, and even the deluded follower of Joanna Southcott, from the enormous condescension of posterity." : 12 It was placed 30th in the Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction books of the 20th century.

New York City, where traffic is prioritised over people. The new spaces were often too big, too wide, too windswept and not attractive in any way. That was a massive change in the way cities were built. So instead of making spaces with buildings around them, they started to make buildings with no man’s land around them, what I call leftover space. What happened with the modernists was that the focus was completely shifted away from spaces to objects, to buildings. If you think of the older cities you know, people often don’t remember buildings but the main squares or the important public spaces. Until modernism, cities were built around spaces where people moved around and held markets, which were also spaces that linked various parts of the city together. ![]() You have written at length about how modernism wasn’t about making cities for people but cities that looked good from above. Jan Gehl is a city architect that has helped transform places like Copenhagen and Melbourne into some of the world’s most liveable cities and written seminal books such as Life Between Buildings: Using Public Space (1972) and Cities for People (2011) that explore the need for making people-oriented cities. ![]() ![]() It's also the incubator of some of the most pure site-specific outdoor art ever made.
