Field of dreams

Comments on the new type of suburb typified by Upton and Poundbury, traditionalist developments with densely packed houses and old-style architecture. Discusses why planners and the UK government are keen on developing more of these suburbs, rather than the usual semi-detached, two-storey homes on roads laid out with roundabouts and cul-de-sacs. Argues that a slump in the housing market will prove that these suburbs are not popular with buyers.
