In fact, we need a range of responses, reflecting the place, the community, and the market opportunity. I argued in 'Death of the Salesmen' for 'Night Streets'.
Good to see the idea is growing! @BompasandParr #highstreets

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.

Anyone who works in #regeneration should know the story of 'Prisencolinensinainciusol'. There is a tendency in the industry to produce strategies in the new language of LinkedInglish. Full of buzzwords that sound significant but are essentially fatuous.

Kicking off a new marina development opportunity this week.
What will make the biggest impact in term of visitor economy, physical revitalisation, and creating an accessible space for creative learning and making?
Would love to read case studies and hear your experiences.

An empty unit around the corner from my office. Unusual in itself around here. I'm also intrigued as to whether this random graffiti or an arch reference to meanwhile uses of vacant shops. @meanwhile_space
