The great conflict of our age is the clash between democrats and autocrats. The autocrats are winning, because democracies are doing a terrible job of regenerating #towns and #cities and stitching them into an optimistic, patriotic national story.

I was on the strand in Liverpool yesterday, thankfully hours before the events that have been in the news. All the family are safe too. It's important we remember and focus on the half a million people celebrating and having fun, and not the actions of one violent individual.

This is a good summary of the dilemmas and tensions that play out and need honest discussion when delivering large-scale #regeneration projects with existing #neighbourhoods. #York #housing #place.

Strong recommendation for #TheGangofThree @KingsHeadThtr. Incisive, witty, very well acted and tragic in a very British, turbulent beneath the tea and tweed manner.

Your Sunday reading. Some inspiration and a call to action. “It is a part of our national story that should inspire great pride.”.

Strong recommendation for 'Nothing Lasts Forever' at the Photographers' Gallery. A look at the social history work of Peter Mitchell and his fascination with Leeds in particular. #Leeds #photography #socialhistory #London.
