Bristol 650: Essays on the Future of Bristol

£20.00

2023 marks the 650th anniversary of Bristol becoming an independent county. This provides an opportunity to not only look back at more than six centuries of the city, but also to think about how we might build a better Bristol of the future.

Edited by Amy O’Beirne and Andrew Kelly, this book brings together essays from over 30 contributors, addressing some of the challenges the city faces and sharing ideas about how we might meet them. From dealing with the past, the future of social care, culture and housing to building a city of aspiration, the book looks to promote learning about the future of Bristol and encourage new ideas to come forward.
