Briefly

"Christie’s work made some then rather novel proposals such as that the whole area should be designated a conservation area, the existing street pattern should be retained, and housing policy should ensure that low-income residents were not displaced."
"Jenkins argues, better plans and cities may not be realised until Britons learn to speak architecture, there are also other matters to consider, if as a society we are to get better urban places to live in."
"The outcome of such measures would hopefully be a citizenry and planning practice better placed to resist and positively reshape present and future proposals for sod you development across our cities and urban areas."
