1.1 The Dukeries Thinkbelt study directs our attention towards a basic question about the Thinkbelt now – i.e. what do we know? After tracing its origins back to the 1960s and its development through into the 2020s the study focuses on a seminal project, namely, Cedric Price’s Potteries Thinkbelt.

1.2 The Dukeries Thinkbelt study draws on a growing collection of key literature represented here by an annotated bibliography. From this the main theme – i.e. the Thinkbelt now – is defined as something time-limited of possible value and usefulness and the sub themes of architecture and complexity are defined by Cedric Price and Roy Landau respectively.
