Frontierlands: Britain's Survival in the Making

byHazel Sheffield

Hazel Sheffield travels through British places that investors and public institutions have left behind, meeting people who are building new uses for neglected land and buildings. Her reporting follows communities restoring local control, creating shared spaces, developing skills, and finding economic possibilities in abandoned infrastructure. Moving from coastal towns to forests, factories, and neighborhoods, she explores how collective action can respond to economic decline and climate change. The book asks what regeneration looks like when residents shape it themselves, and how their experiments might help other communities prepare for an uncertain future.
