(Preface) 'This issue started by being called Outrage in the Name of Public Authority, but in collecting the material it became clear that the issue was much wider, and that we are all offenders as well as victims. Public authorities are responsible for nearly all of the faults exposed in this issue; they have most power and often least awareness of the visual responsibility that should go with it, but they are only a corporate reflection of what goes on in the mind of each one of us. So the title of the issue became simply Outrage; and the Outrage is that the whole land surface is being covered by the creeping mildew that already circumscribes all of our towns. This death by slow decay we have called Subtopia, a compound word formed from suburb and utopia, i.e. making an ideal of suburbia.'
