Creating popular places, making house prices and rents affordable needs adults able to work together over long periods, think one, two, three generations. Look at the policy timeframes of the landed estates who successful create premium urban values by making their estates places with popular appeal.
Would you like to live next door to Belgravia, or the Royal Cresent in Bath, with the facilities that want to locate there? It is possible, but needs leadership, not fear of change. Yah, boo confrontational attitudes in Whitehall or townhall are worse than teenagers in the school playground.
