The plans look like rows and rows of terraced housing to me – probably just the sort of thing that was knocked down in slum clearances to be replaced by… yes, you’ve guessed it, Hightown Flats.
Going round in circles anyone?
Everyone complains now about ‘concrete monstrosities’ that were high rise flats, but in truth the problem with them was poor maintenance, and abuse by tenants, not the architecture.
If its not looked after by tenants and landlords alike, whatever they build will be a rundown mess in a few years.
