In every area of life, traditional, centralized party politics has
been failing and the seeds of a new form of political life are
being sown. This is true in housing, health, education, consumption
and transport, where public policy is attracting increasing
criticism. In an age of social alienation and urban despondency
Richer Futures is a timely response to the growing interest in
community-based, self-help action. It introduces new forms of
communication and decision-making and sets out a programme for a
sustainable politics. Contributions from some of the best-known
thinkers and writers on contemporary urban, cultural and social
policy (and campaigns) in Britain today pay tribute to the ideas
and industrious activities of the influential writer and
commentator Colin Ward. This uplifting collection of essays looks
forward to a new politics of self-management and environmentally
aware and sustainable lifestyles. Ken Worpole has written a number
of books on urban and cultural policy, and a series of influential
reports for Comedia, Demos and the Department of the Environment.
