Joined up thinking

It’s all part of the masterplan apparently, the council have appointed a company called Urban Initiatives to make sure that all of the proposed redevelopment in the city centre are “joined up”. Which at its best could be a very good thing, at its worst could be some awful logos. Let’s wait and see – here’s a nice quote tho’:

Kelvin Campbell head of Urban Initiatives, which has been handed a £750,000 contract to oversee delivery of the £10bn ‘city masterplan’ said: “It is a city with the will and commitment to deliver and it does not need to work with outside agencies or partners – everything is here.” doesn’t inspire too much confidence, three quarters of a million and the first thing he says is – you don’t need us.
