Broaden<strong>in</strong>g current discourse on <strong>in</strong>ner-city development beyond quantitative, short-term<br />
market delivery/feasibility, to <strong>in</strong>clude long-term social value & susta<strong>in</strong> rights of the citizen.<br />
“...the city [is] not simply an economic or geographic<br />
phenomenon, but above all, a social complex.<br />
...If first place is given to questions of f<strong>in</strong>ancial remuneration<br />
<strong>and</strong> if no more of the common human factor enters <strong>in</strong>to the<br />
picture than can be en<strong>for</strong>ced by build<strong>in</strong>g codes, then... the<br />
life of the <strong>in</strong>dividual becomes atomised.”<br />
