Motorways, airports, tower blocks, power stations, windfarms; TV
and the internet, easy travel and shrinking distances; business
parks, starter homes and vast shopping and leisure complexes. All
of these helped define the later 20th-century world and their
material remains remind us of the major changes brought about
through innovation and rapidly developing technology. Illustrated
with striking aerial and ground photographs of some stunning and
sometimes surprising 20th-century landscapes, Images of Change
highlights for perhaps the first time the impact the developments
of the last century have had on the landscape and gives us a new
angle on the industrial, military, domestic and agricultural
influences at work around us. By turns dramatic, beautiful, perhaps
even shocking, the images and accompanying text will convince that
the later 20th century should not be seen as an age that has
devalued or destroyed what went before. Understanding how the
20th-century landscape is perceived and how it connects to the past
is part of what this book is about - helping us to understand that
change and creation is as important in the landscape as
preservation. We recognise and celebrate the process of landscape
change for earlier periods - the 20th century should be no
different.
