Inhaltsangabe

As ever, a version of the development of London's economic, political and cultural life can be read in the new buildings going up all over the capital. Alongside the excitement and farce of the city's millennium arhcitecture (The London Eye, Peckham Library and the Tate Modern on the one hand; the Dome and the infamous swaying Thames footbridge on the other), our rulers have built the lavish Portcullis House for themselves; two skyscrapers are nearing completion at Canary Wharf - only recently among the capital's least-favoured properties but now an astonishingly desirable address; industrial buildings are being renovated to house new-media firms and the loft-style people who own or work in them. Occassionaly funding has been found for a school or public leisure facility, and the city's decaying infrastructure has been boosted with the completion of the Jubilee Line extension. This fifth edition of London: a guide to recent architecture brings the picture up to date.
