Design As Politics

I thought this new collection of texts may be interesting to some, all originally published in BD as opinion pieces and now brought togther online. Design as Politics defines itself as...

... explicitly looking for alternatives for classical top-down planning methods and control mechanisms, through which governments have manifested themselves in the 20th century.

I would hardly call these pieces some sort of manifesto but they are an interesting view point in the mainstream UK urban 'scene' covering topics like the Riots 2011 and UK heritage.
