Good God, were people actually expected to live in those prison blocks? Even with the City Council involved, the new housing must be an improvement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq50z2w0vlgo |

They were seen as an answer to all our ills, Lex. Unfortunately, much was already known (but ignored), and reality came to fruition. There's a housing estate near where I grew up that was also supposed to be the answer; it too failed miserably. I admit to quite liking brutalist architecture, but I certainly wouldn't want to live in blocks like that. |
