Über den Autor / die Autorin

Ken Worpole is the author of a number of admired books and studies on architecture, landscape and urban design, and an adviser on public policy to the UK government, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, and the Heritage Lottery Fund. A former Professor at The Cities Institute of London Metropolitan University, in the words of The New Statesman, ‘Worpole is a literary original, a social and architectural historian whose books combine the Orwellian ideal of common decency with understated erudition.’ Elsewhere, The Independent newspaper has written that, 'For many years Ken Worpole has been one of the shrewdest and sharpest observers of the English social landscape.'
