Buildings, towns and cities are the most powerful and moving elements of our existence, as powerful as religion, music, art or politics. Yet cities are, and always have been, more than these: they are permanent, public and shared in both expression and achievement. Architecture and urbanism, I have no doubt, are our greatest achievements. - Sir Terry Farrell Exploring and understanding the world s towns and cities is a passionate commitment that has been the focus of the London-based practice of planners, urban designers, master-planners and architects for the last 40 years.
