Whose Regeneration?
Tony Fletcher's ¡JAMMING!
A busy intersection on the formerly unfashionable side of a major global city river languishes, un(der)developed, until it becomes an eyesore, a blight on the city’s reputation as a world capital. It’s clear that the real estate is worth money, that the location has vast potential, and that the neighborhood could do with the beautification.
