Opinion: Regeneration? Read all about it

30 April 2004

Being the Oprah Winfrey of the regeneration movement, I'm sometimes asked which books I recommend regeneration people read. Something by a Demos alumnus? And what about that guru of the Third Way, Charles Leadbetter? Anthony Giddens, perhaps?

Interview: Developing passions

30 April 2004

As the head of a leading development company, Roger Madelin tells Chris Griffin about his approach to the business of creating places that people can really enjoy

Editorial: Failure to heed flood risk will be a disaster

30 April 2004

It is occasionally said that the human race is sleepwalking into oblivion. If ever a wake-up call was needed, then the Office of Science and Technology's report on the risk of flooding in the UK is it. Global warming has made flooding disasters inevitable and the number of people at risk could be as high as 3.6 million within 80 years - a comparatively short timescale when it comes to climate change and the lifespan of the planet.

Opinion: UK's sunbelt city offers remedies for resurgence

30 April 2004

A horde of the world's top urban experts descended on the London School of Economics last week. Generously funded by the Leverhulme Foundation - whose founding father William Hesketh Lever built the model village of Port Sunlight and paid for the first university town planning department, at Liverpool, in 1910 - they'd come for two and a half days of debate about the Resurgent City. Their only small problem was whether they were peering at a mirage. At the end, they'd reassured themselves - perhaps because they'd enjoyed some inter-session sunshine walking around London, which everyone agreed is a resurgent kind of place. The residual nagging question was what was happening elsewhere. Most British cities, they were reminded, are still losing people, even though they're seeing central renaissance.
