    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["These young idealists were once united around a vision of using science and art to create a city of equal citizens. Their architecture fused William Morris with urban high-rise; ancient parkland with concrete. Utopia London examines the, social and political agendas of the time in which the city was rebuilt. The story goes on to explore how the meaning of these transformative buildings has been radically manipulated over subsequent decades. Inspired by the optimism of the past it poses the question; where do we go from here and now?" I didn't bookmark this before; this rectifies that.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A 2001 obituary of the author of Traffic in Towns, 1963. "In the larger cities, he proposed underground car parks, as well as the demolition of existing buildings and roads to allow traffic to proceed at ground level with shops - and pedestrians - on a level above."

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["London is a low-rise city of of vast area rather like Los Angeles - it’s about the same size. LA built the freeway system, and that’s what we need - a freeway system all over London - roads up in the air, carrying people free of the ground so that the ground is left for local traffic" He's also amusingly scathing about London's housing stock.

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A visually striking (but as migusrki points out, somewhat fiddly to use) site about the interaction of London's Elephant and Castle with the post-war rebuilding, whose planning was informed by the advent of mass motoring. There's some interesting interplay with the City's highwalks in here.

Not that you should expect anything different from a Tory.

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Jonathan Glancey on the proposed redevelopment of Euston, Waterloo and New Street, and the poverty of ambition that's plagued railway building since the 1950s. I'd quibble with "risk"; for all that St Pancras is a nice station, it's also, frankly, a mall as well (especially compared to Gare du Nord). Generally, though, a good piece.
