Is there ANY discussion out there about the QUALITY of this housing? Who is going to guarantee that the whole of the UK is not going to be papered over with shoddy, ill-conceived, soulless housing built by the usual mediocre mass house-builders? We need to get back to basics before we take all the brakes off building and planning. YES to lots and lots of housing, but urban design, place-making, longevity, character, materials, diversity, sustainability all need to be debated first, and conclusions implemented. Our society needs QUALITY. We are descending more and more into architectural hell. Hardly anything that is built these days matches the quality of previous generations. Can we really live with this? Is this what we want to leave our children?Let's talk about this, SOON. Barbara Weiss Skyline Campaign
