Public utility infrastructure has no need to be ugly. We do it to ourselves.

Why are the plans for the Palace? Of Westminster so bad & what can we do?
For @TheCriticMag I read 128 pages of “Delivering restoration & renewal of the Palace of Westminster: the costed proposals” report so that you don’t have to. It’s worse than you think. 🧵 …

Tomorrow morning, we announce the results of our Architectural Preference Survey for the Bridge Street car park site.
We are grateful for @createstreets’ advice on how to secure the strongest results, including the consistent presentation of images and non-leading questions.

Very foolish. Any place in England already has a name: the village, field, forest or hill that is already there. By all means layer in new names for neighbourhoods (Elizabeth or Elizabeth Town may be particular appropriate) but don’t try to start afresh.

🚨 NEW: The proposed names the Government is considering calling its new towns - Elizabethtown (after the Queen) - Pankhurst (after suffragette Emmeline) - Attleeton (after ex-PM) - Athelstan (first King of England) - Seacole (after nurse Mary) [@thetimes]

London is always being lost and re-found. Every generation harms the city that came before. The Edwardians replaced much of central London with cliffs of classically ornate Portland stone. Few complained.
Shock, for example, was muted when this turned into...

Make Croydon Clean & Beautiful. Quite right. If local leaders won’t care about their places, who will?

Croydon! It’s time to turn our town around. Here’s how:

The city centre car park has had its day. There is now a significant opportunity to put the land previously used for car parking to much more productive use.
Land that could be used for tens of thousands of homes in city centres.

France is building 300,000 new homes annually, by using tram networks to unlock new homes. A model Britain has yet to master. Our latest report with @thomasableman (Freewheeling) and @CBTransport takes senior politicians and policymakers behind the scenes in France to uncover the structural, funding, and leadership secrets that could finally help the UK build at scale. Discover what they learned about creating "gentle density" and why tram-enabled housing might be closer to reality than you think with our full report 'Towns and Trams' launching today createstreets.com/wp-content/upl…
This project would not have been possible without funding from Steve Gooding and the @racfoundation

Newcastle vs. Barcelona.
English cities are getting battered by European ones when it comes to trams, light rail and public transport.
Because mayors have to go to Westminster for money and permission to build.

Prime example of a mirror town. A great way to build more houses that are already served by existing infrastructure.
As @Ben_A_Hopkinson explains.

The 150 homes they're opposing will be literally next door to the tube station. This is the perfect location for desperately needed new homes.

We used to have these. They were called Apartment Hotels. They’d consist of a single room with a bathroom, housecleaning, a cafeteria and lounges. Imagine being able to rent month to month and not need to furnish an apartment. It was ideal. Nuts we got rid of these.

Lots of people's social & romantic lives could be vastly improved if it was normal for young adults to live in college dorm-style accommodation in city centres until they were ready to set up home properly. Why doesn't this exist? I think there would be a market for it!

Every single building in this photo was rebuilt after catastrophic wartime destruction. Cities don’t need to be faceless.

A before and after shot of the Union Corner Building in central Glasgow. The upper shot was taken in 2025, the lower one this morning, showing how little of it remains standing following Sunday's fire. #glasgow #unionstreet #fire #architecture #architecturephotography
