The high street is changing and we delve into its radical transformation from site of consumption to hub of connection, community and experience. We explore innovative new uses from youth centres to meanwhiles, look at how BIDs have become powerful placeshapers and visit Stretford King Street - a new high street formed by taking the roof off a shopping centre. A Placetest of Brighton’s high streets by anthropologist Jon Mitchell reveals different characters, uses and scales. We also visit Tipping Point East, the new circular economy hub, plus all the winners and shortlisted projects from The Pineapples awards for place with judges citations.
Featuring original street photography and magazine journalism, The Developer takes an inspiring look at freshly unpacked and older places in an uncommonly beautiful print edition. Designed for lovers of towns and cities who believe that life happens in the spaces between the buildings.
