Or, why the Farrell Review is key to the delivery of the Taskforce Report
“As a nation, we are extremely well equipped to provide the kind of sustainable city making skills that will be in greater demand around the world and our global reputation is something to be proud of. The UK itself should be a showcase for what can be achieved when planners, landscapers, architects, conservationists, engineers, artists, developers and house builders work together. Yet the reality in the majority of our villages, towns and cities is far from world class.” – Sir Terry Farrell
If new towns should be “vision led”, it’s definitely time to revisit the Farrell Review because we now need our architects, urban designers and planners more than ever. And it’s gonna be up to the government to make sure planning departments can afford to employ them and deliver the new town dream.
