From the grandiose histories of grand state building projects to
the minutiae of street signs and corner pubs, from the rebuilding
of capital cities to the provision of the humble public toilet,
Clean Living in Difficult Circumstances argues for the city as a
socialist project. Combining memoir, history, portraits of
particular places and things, Hatherley argues for those who have
tried to create and imagine a better modernity, both in terms of
architecture, such as Zaha Hadid or Ian Nairn, in terms of the
urban space, like Jane Jacobs or Marshall Berman, and the way we
see the world more widely, like Mark Fisher or Adam Curtis.
Together, these outline a vision of the city as both as a place of
political argument and dispute, and as a space of everyday
experience, one that we shape as much as it shapes us.
