This book is a composite of short pieces of writing that were inspired by writing prompts. When writing to a prompt it is amazing what the writer will come up with on a given day. The same prompt given a week later might have an entirely different result. Our minds have so many hidden thoughts and ideas that might never come to light without these little prods to our subconscious. The author has chosen to express these thoughts in short stories, articles, and in poetry form. It's not just that the ideas are different on different days but the form in which the writer will choose to express the idea is also different. I hope you will enjoy these fractured pieces of my mind.

The city of Birmingham offers a particularly rich case study on urban regeneration as it strives to build a new city image. Positioned between decline and regeneration, the landscape of the city and its environs collages old and new, producing dramatic contrasts - of industrial and post-industrial urbanisms of crumbling brutalism and spectacular flagship developments, of Victorian housing and diverse cultural lifestyles - that compound the aesthetic and socio-economic means of regeneration.
