    We have realised most #architects and #townPlanners are not particularly good today.

    We may need to be architects.

    A #GuerillaArchitectsForum might be good thing to start. It would be a space for architects to compete for their name to go on a sustainable restoration of a place, the winning independently-costed entry, democratically chosen by local residents is the one that gets done?

  2. Corrupted #urbanPlanners are among the worst things in today's society?

    They appear to be forcing people from #detachedHouses into #apartments without barely a nod to the highly appropriate #townhouse?

    Its almost as though these #townPlanners are hoping to create a #permanentUnderclass. Do they think they cannot slip into that lowQuality living situation?

    If so, why?

  3. 3/3

    Most #TownPlanners today pretend to value #walkable neighborhoods while vastly ignoring the above. They are mostly vassals to #cronyist #developers and #bigConstruction firms wanting to make a quick buck.

    See #ResorativeEnvironments for more.

  4. 2/2…By the 1970s sky-high #apartmentTowers and modernist concrete office buildings began popping up all over #Sydney.

    The developers were displacing hundreds of #KingsCross residents.

    Resident and protestor, #ArthurKing was also #abducted and threatened with murder.

    Gentrification and #townPlanners kill.

  5. Govt wants to splurge and spend some newly-minted cash.

    Rather than asking residents what they need for local #resilience. They've enlisted a bunch of #townPlanners to redesign local sporting facilities, with plans to axe, life preserving #trees, build #playgrounds where teens kick a ball (yes, its as stupid as it sounds), rearrange buildings, etc.

    Its obvious the designers don't live in the area nor attend local #sports.

  6. Funny how #townPlanners in #Australia keep pointing to #Europe as an example of #highDensity done right, and so they work on plans for 10-storey #highrise buildings. But many of these so-called "#planners" and #policyMakers are ***from*** Europe (#China to a lesser extent).

    If #gentrification is so great, why didn't they stay there?

    Erm, don't you know its all a #RussianConspiracy, even #gentrification and #overdevelopment is a Russian plot.

    All the Russian #TownPlanners are taking over our citiezzzz for realzz, approving plans for 4 storey apartment buildings next door on my quiet street.

    Its a Chinese Plot too, I swear!
