David Goldblatt argues that current models of urban redevelopment are broken, and need replacing.
He draws a contrast between developments: the multi-million pound apartments of One Hyde Park in London, and Stoke's Croft in Bristol, with its 'don't develop Stoke's Croft, let Stoke's Croft develop' ethos.
He says that big developers are more interested in making life comfortable for the already comfortable and that a development like Stoke's Croft, with individuals taking the initiative when landowners and government have failed to act, is a far more positive model.
