Cardiff has seen multiple changes in the last two decades. Large areas of Wales’s capital city have been redeveloped, high-rise apartments and other tall buildings have transformed the city centre and the Cardiff Bay area, new shopping centres have been built, and the city has become a popular tourist destination. Author and photographer Chris Hunt has photographed Cardiff from the top of many of its tall buildings and here presents a fresh perspective on how much the city has changed over recent decades, revealing the evolving cityscape from above.
From its iconic landmarks and historic buildings to new developments, these rooftop views show readers a fascinating perspective on Cardiff’s rich and varied heritage allied to the present-day vibrant city.
'For Cardiffians of sufficient age, this collection should prove powerfully nostalgic, showing how quickly the horizon has shifted. For visitors, it serves as a stunning architectural guide to the city. Far beyond a standard history book, Hunt’s background as an exhibited artist shines through each page, offering a snapshot of Cardiff at a time of particular upheaval. Cardiff From The Rooftops is an exceptional piece of work and an essential addition for anyone fond of Welsh heritage, urban photography or contemporary architecture.' * Buzz Magazine *
'A fascinating collection of photographs of the Welsh capital taken from a rooftop perspective highlights the huge changes to the city in recent years.' * The Western Mail *
