And not to get too forensic on this, but the glib use of "residents wanted X" shows how quickly users of public space are divided into "legitimate" and "illegitimate" . Find it hard to believe there are no skaters living in Camden.

It's a short article, but a shame they didn't get into the power inequalities of hostile architecture - why is "sitting for too long" bad, per se? And too long by whose measure?

Particularly this line: "we were given an extensive list of requirements, on a fairly small budget. We didn't have time to address why any of those problems existed." No! Bad architect! Take some bloody responsibility.

This is interesting though. Anecdotally, I believe having a female host often helps to get a broader range of audience contributions, too. Also fyi I don't think it's actually 'lack of confidence' or 'risk aversion'.

UK government is basically that flatmate you had at uni who vommed all over the floor in the shared kitchen last night and is now demanding credit for half-heartedly mopping it up
