Here's an excellent post over at 2blowhards.com on Ian Nairn. I'd never heard of him until now, but his writings on London apparently would go down very well with the James Kunstler/David Sucher crowd (to which I belong). He was more of a fan of modernism than Kunstler, but still understood the essential truth that people like to live in walkable, friendly cities, not in pod boxes out in the suburbs. And this was many many years ago.
Looks like it'll be slightly difficult to find some books by him, but I'll start looking.
