Owen your reflections on Vienna are interesting but not likely to be repeated in London.

As you can see we have a Tory Government, a history of private development, and some of the most expensive land prices on the planet.

This is not to mention the resistance to densification of existing areas of the city. Coupled with the national dream of retiring to the noddy approximation of an oversized country cottage.

We also are destroying estates we currently have rather than building up the city around them and dealing with half built utopian ring roads and the 1960's traffic engineer's patchworks on the map of a thousand years of city development.

my words do not discount your comments, but it is easier to reflect in and on Vienna than to work on the coal face in London.
