In our November issue, we showcase urban projects that illustrate both good design and placemaking. We unveil how Renzo Piano’s Paddington Square scheme has improved the experience for rail travelers, how Caruso St John helped stitch together a neglected corner of Camden, and how John McAslan + Partners’ multi-modal ‘post-Troubles’ transport hub is providing a gateway into Belfast. Featured in the issue is Mae founding director Alex Ely’s, bold and progressive vision for the future of urban development in the UK looking at combining the dense energy of a city with the pastoral beauty of the English countryside. The news stories are filled with tales about delays in decisions, backlogs of applications, and arbitrary refusals. We talk to planning officers, struggling to keep their heads above water and ask those at the coalface what needs to change to fix the nation’s ‘broken’ planning system. Also in this month’s issue, photographer David Grandorge reflects on ‘Low Tech’ architecture, and Fran Williams visits ‘Concrete Dreams’, an exhibition showcasing Newcastle’s Brutalist vision.
