The Barbican is a radical model of city living and a symbol of post-war optimism. Today, it’s home to around 4,000 people – half the population of the City of London, the ancient heart of the capital where the building resides. But while its towers and walkways are recognisable to many, few are familiar with what lies inside. This book is a rare chance to peer beyond its concrete boundaries into the homes and lives of over 30 residents.

‘The Barbican embodies a vision of public generosity that is becoming
vanishingly rare.' – Olivia Laing, from the foreword.
