Celebrate modernist architecture, it's buildings and the people who live in them today with this stylish design book, which takes an inside look at remarkable and sometimes controversial estates in Britain and examines the impact they have on their communities.

Filled with fascinating architectural history, interesting people, and a good snoop around some gorgeous interiors, it's hard to see what's not to love.'
