UK riots day for: Regional unrest

Thursday 11th August, 2011

Jonathan Brown offers his views in the Architects Journal on the riots 

"Jonathan Brown of Urbed said that in Toxteth, Liverpool, there had been ‘copy-cat burning and looting’ but not on the scale of the riots which took place there in 1981.

He said: ‘To be honest I saw more TV satellite trucks than burning barricades as I went round L8 [the area] this morning at 9am.’

He added: ‘It shouldn’t surprise us to see such disaffection when even university graduates can only find work in call centres, and the prospect of a decent job and home life has diminished for a whole generation.’"
