Poundbury

Worth reading the attached account of Poundbury by Oliver Wainwright who I would not have expected to be remotely sympathetic, but turns out to be, if only because it it surely vastly much more desirable than the standardised developer estates which are now dotted arbitrarily all over southern England. And I’m not sure what the RIBA suggests as a good model for large-scale housing development. Certainly, nothing in this year’s Stirling Prize which is nearly all in London.
