Revision with unchanged content. The urban mega-development at King´s Cross in London has in this book been investigated from a Marxist perspective. How are class conflicts apparent and how is the local struggle against the profit-led development related to class? How does the communicative planning process function, and how is it related to class conflict? The Norwegian critical geographer St†le Holgersen goes in this book beneath the surface where ´communication´ and ´participation´ is dominating, and uncovers structures which constitute contemporary urban trends.
