The Prince of Wales wants to build this next to St Paul's. The City is determined to stop him

Article Abstract:

The Prince of Wales is clashing with the Corporation of London over plans for the redevelopment of Paternoster Square, situated next to St Paul's cathedral in central London, England. The Prince is determined that the classical development which he has supported since the late 1980s will go ahead, but there is opposition to this scheme because it does not meet the needs of the City. Environment secretary John Gummer is likely to back the Prince, and this could lead to a lengthy conflict.

A target built of steel and glass

Article Abstract:

The Canary Wharf office development in the old Docklands area of London, England, has always attracted very mixed views. Many people see it as ugly, but others highlight its importance as an international finance and communications centre. The fact that it was recently the target of a bomb attack demonstrates its strategic significance. To many, it is greatly symbolic of the enterprise culture which was promoted by former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

The cream of Manchester: will we fudge our best chance to recreate a city centre?

Article Abstract:

The rebuilding of the centre of Manchester, England, will be the largest city centre regeneration scheme to have been undertaken in the UK for several decades. The government has announced a shortlist of five teams of architects and planners, and will make a final selection in Nov 1996. However, none of the five schemes, which are soon to be put on display at Manchester City Hall, show the innovative approach which the city needs and deserves.
