Book Review: The slow road to regeneration

30 July 2004

In Praise of Slow is the newly released bible of the 'Slow' movement. It is a finely expressed and comprehensive world-wide survey of the way we live now. The movement calls on us all to find the right tempo of life, a tempo that allows us to appreciate the world, to see it with new eyes unflustered by the stress of work, traffic congestion, and the heedless search for more, better, now.

Nigel Smith, chair of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Regeneration Panel, puts it more specifically. "If you're responsible for taking a risk on a big project and it's a stunning success, the minister will be posing for photos with your bosses, along with anyone else who was involved," he says.

Editorial: Taking a chance on dark horses of regeneration

30 July 2004
