“…Insufficient maintenance of communal spaces and lifts also proved problematic in terms of liveability, as did the layout of blocks, which sometimes produced 'dead spaces' seen as encouraging crime. The collapse of one corner of the Rowan Point tower block in 1968 (killing three) galvanised those opposed to high-rise residential development in the UK and neutered the modernist movement in England (Swenarton 2002). Even when the stock was of better quality there were problems in practice.…”

“…Swenarton (2002) traces a brief flurry of empathy for the suburbs in the 1970s and 1980s reflecting the approach of Venturi et al (1972) in the United States; this includes Taylor (1973) and Oliver et al (1981). However, empathy for the mass suburb was relatively short lived and, after the decline of modernism, the city model that was to emerge in the United Kingdom drew on the medieval walled city, where the suburbs were ‘outwith’ the city (Swenarton, 2002). Seamlessly linking two historical periods, the medieval city was to underpin the (urban) renaissance in the United Kingdom.…”
