You’ll find all of these – and more – in this PUBLIC-themed issue of the modernist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis issue explores the many forms that public resources and infrastructure assumed in the twentieth century. Beneath it all runs the larger story: the rise, and then the steady unravelling, of investment in public housing, health services, cultural provision… the list is long, and familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe acknowledge that narrative – and you’ll certainly feel its presence throughout these pages – yet we choose to tread a slightly different path. One where crazes for collecting pub signs sit alongside abandoned Soviet monuments, long-lost car parks and a failed attempt to establish an international symbol for lavatories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWithout slipping into nostalgia, it’s worth remembering that there was a time when PUBLIC meant prestige, ambition and civic confidence. Sometimes we need to peel back years of indifference to see it – in housing, theatres, libraries, bus services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNot everything in this issue gleams. These are places that have worked hard, served well, and stood up to public use – and that, in itself, is worth celebrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e72 pages b\u0026amp;w and colour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200mm x 200mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect bound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can save some money by taking out an annual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-modernist-magazine.org\/shop\/the-modernist-annual-subscription\"\u003esubscription\u003c\/a\u003e to the Modernist Magazine or you could become a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/the-modernist.org\/blogs\/membership\/join\"\u003eModernist Society Member\u003c\/a\u003e to access additional benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy subscribing to The Modernist magazine or joining our membership,  you will be supporting The Modernist Society, a not for profit organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Please remember - we are a not for profit organisation with a very small team.
