Focusing on the decline of high streets during recession and austerity, the book explores their historical significance as community hubs. It critiques current revitalization policies that favor upscale businesses over those serving working-class populations, highlighting how these measures often marginalize the tastes and cultures of less affluent communities. By examining the impact of these trends on social fabric, the book sheds light on the broader implications for urban development and community identity.
