Topothesia refers to a rhetorical device employing the vivid depiction of an often-imaginary place. This book focuses on town planning from the late nineteenth century to the present day, showing how the contemporary geography of Britain—sharply unequal and marked by racial division—continues ideologies of place established in colonial contexts.
