I think the crux of it is that because everyone associates high rise council housing with decay, crime and failed urban regeneration schemes of the 1960s is that all tower blocks are automatically "bad" and should be removed. Not so - look at the Barbican Estate in London. It is designed ...

Excellent Brigit!! It does my tits in having to rip up all those wee sticky labels which stick everywhere! Now I know what to do with them

A lot of this is over my head, but I understand the basics. I can't see that there is much we can do? The 'Occupy' protests have my full support, but if it's stamped on here, in the same way that it was in New York, what else can we do to change things? It's quite scary really.
