Product Description
In this richly detailed and multifaceted study, Dale H. Porter reveals the complex wave of values and practices-environmental, political, economic, technological, and aesthetic-that made possible the building of these structures that altered and became a permanent part of the London riverscape. The Thames Embankment shows how innovations in technology, in environmental assessment, and in public policy formations not only lead to public works projects but, are, in return, stimulated and shaped by them.
