- Boom Cities is a monograph of 80,000 words (173 pages). The research extended from 2011 to 2018. This was undertaken in libraries in the UK and USA and in national and local archives in Bolton, Haringey, Hertfordshire, Leicester, London, Preston, and Portsmouth. Collections at the RIBA, Imperial College, and the LSE were also consulted. Its long gestation period has allowed the book to explore the co-evolution of a range of architectural and political cultures across a number of institutional, and regional and national contexts, uncovering both the planning philosophy and the legislative framework that fostered this process.
