The Evergreen: A New Season in the North ed. by Sean Bradley and Elizabeth Elliott (review)

A new edition of 'The Evergreen: A New Season in the North' revives the legacy of Patrick Geddes's 19th-century journal, blending contemporary Scottish cultural politics with historical insights. This publication, edited by Sean Bradley and Elizabeth Elliott, explores the significance of place-based identity and sustainable urban living, drawing parallels to Geddes's 'civics' approach that integrated aesthetic and scientific perspectives. It includes diverse contributions from international authors, reflecting on local traditions while addressing modern challenges such as immigration and urban renewal. The edition supports the Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust, emphasizing its role in revitalizing Scotland's historic capital. Its design, inspired by the original Arts and Crafts movement yet modernized, underscores a commitment to both heritage preservation and contemporary relevance.
