Acclaimed journalist Anna Minton presented her book Ground Control at the Public on 18 November. Ground Control is an in-depth exploration of the state of Britain today. Has ‘regeneration’ really made our lives better, or has it fuelled a housing crisis, and intensified social division?

Ground Control reveals how untested urban planning is transforming not only our cities, but the very nature of public space, of citizenship and of trust.

This is the start of a two year programme of work by the University of Wolverhampton and Multistory as part of the Black Country Creative Advantage (BCCA). Most of the delegates at the event were selected to take part in a seminar for BCCA in West Bromwich on 19 November 2009.
