A
speech in London on 4 December by Andres Duany has raised hackles among architects.
It may also be a chance to increase debate of the issues among the rest of us.
Duany is one of the U.S. gurus of "New Urbanism" who has been both garlanded for building and designing human-scale housing and developments; and criticised for his involvement with places like Poundbury.
I got interested in Duany after a visit to Vancouver. You can see him in a Vancouver city video about the large scale charrette (interactive public consultation) they did in
East Fraserlands as part of a major new development.

here's a link to a thought-provoking lecture he gave at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University.
