It looks like Edinburgh is going in exactly the same direction as Liverpool with a development Cabal leading the way forward to build banal architecture so typical of the era we live within. Driving it past the people who care because money talks. To trust todays architects with world heritage is a dangerous game and no more so is there an example as in Liverpool, European Capital of carpet-bagging Vultures 2008. You have to level some element of blame on Unesco they asked for UK government for heritage protection and a white paper was commissioned which is taking forever to bring in but they need to offer serios advice what is ICOMOS supposed to be there for. Top and bottom of it is the DCMS has a permenant delegation to Unesco and here lies the real problem a bunch of beauracrats in London speaking for the people who live there whether it be Liverpool, Bath or Edinburgh this cant be right. This is the 1960s all over again Wayne Colquhoun LIVERPOOL PRESERVATION TRUST
