Re: Re: who are the National Conservation and Heritage Group

Sorry, guys, but ‘developer’ and ‘development’ = brown envelopes and bad planning. Hutton is dead right; Paris is high-density, not high-rise and is very far from being a museum (the best city in the world? discuss). Dublin should bite the bullet and ban anything over c. 6 storeys within the canals. Most advocates of high-rise are c. 12 1/2 and can’t remember the cities of the 60s and 70s: cram the working class into multi-storeys and litter the city centre with bulky shoe-boxy office blocks and – if you’re really trendy – clad them in glass. Oops, doesn’t that describe today?
