Tremendous talk. One hopes the agenda he talks about at the end is taken up. It asks for intelligent connections between urbanism and the economy. "the economy" is not unitary: it may be in a constant condition of calving and branching. Urbanism that seeks to deliver a fixed state is not so helpful. Planning as a top-down activity (on behalf of everyone) deals with change as alteration within a defined sphere. It's allowed for but the arrangement does not achieve what the speaker here calls for which is a democratised economy.
