Good for Sennett. As a follower of the late, great Jane Jacobs, he understands the importance of chaos and non-plan in civilised urban life. The very name "Silicon Roundabout" is provincial and passe'. Nothing interesting is ever going to happen there. But politicians are desperate to find evidence of growth - so for them (though not for anybody else) - Old Street and environs is dynamic, vibrant, etc.

Very sad.
