Is it not down to a governments level of enlightenment on issues of the built environment. You don’t have to have a historical legacy of spatial planning to know that allowing urban sprawl to continue is wrong. It’s lack of vision, spatial awareness and imagination on the governments part to see the alternatives to create healthy vibrant communities. As much as i want to, i have no architectural training but i can see what i don’t like in our current development and i can imagine exciting alternatives, just as someone has a knack for cooking or woodwork some may have a better grasp on visualising and creating living environments. It doesn’t flow in the blood of a nation, maybe it’s just facilitated better in some nations by governments who are made more aware of the environments they are creating.
