New Labour's Towards an Urban Renaissance needs resurecting, improving & delivering
It was about the sustainable development of existing places for everyone not more unsustainable urban sprawl for the few

In Scotland, BrewDog aimed to create a 'Lost Forest' on land they bought by planting 100,000s of trees, despite lots of natural regeneration.
