    Gandon Books.

    Hutton, I wouldn’t say myself that Destruction was ‘better’ than Construction, or vice versa – I don’t think there’s any comparison in so far as they were both products of a very different time.

    The new book seems to be powerfully conveying the lunacy of the policies the goverment has been following in almost every aspect of planning, development and the environment. It pretty much shows what will happen if there is no change and we keep doing the things we’ve been doing (i.e. there has to be change).

    Yes – the improvement of urban areas – the last chapter deals with it.

    Although is does demonstrate how little “real” progress had been made in the intervening years….
