{"product_id":"dan-dubowitz-the-peeps-9780719085529","title":"The Peeps","description":"Ancoats, in Manchester, was once unimaginably different. One of the world's earliest industrial suburbs, it was dark and dense, noisy, frenetic, violent and unhealthy. It was also vibrant and creative. It had a striking vapour, sound and feel.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe area today has undergone a striking regeneration. New streets, pavements and civic spaces have been laid down. A series of installations, known as The Peeps, have been created for the area. Built into the fabric of the buildings, the brass peep holes offer a fleeting glimpse of a walled-in space, a tunnel, a disused toilet, a bell tower, a gauge.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDan Dubowitz, given the title of 'cultural masterplanner', records through photographs, interviews, commentary and contemporaneous texts, the recent past and the current regeneration of the suburb. It is a fascinating, beautifully illustrated and designed volume that eloquently depicts the common narrative of industrialisation, slow decay and rebirth.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53799130988886,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780719085529_1.jpg?v=1794561503","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dan-dubowitz-the-peeps-9780719085529","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
