“Britain could become enormous Los Angeles-style ghetto” – Richard Rogers

Posted in: Dezeen Wire, Do not show on the Homepage, Richard Rogers


Dezeen Wire: British architect Richard Rogers has warned that plans by the UK government to simplify planning regulations could lead to unmoderated urban sprawl, “with rust belts and towns joining each other” – Daily Mail

He added: “If the framework is not improved it will lead to the breakdown and fragmentation of cities and neighbourhoods as well as the erosion of the countryside.” Rogers’ concerns about the government’s new National Planning Policy Framework are shared by environmental campaigners who say they don’t offer a clear enough definition of sustainable development.

Richard Rogers was involved in a planning battle in 2009 over his proposed redevelopment of Chelsea Barracks in London – see reports on Dezeen Wire
