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'. pic.twitter.com/o3BBK9m5YW

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
