Architecture Update: Sites for sore cities
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ENGLISH Partnership (formerly the Urban Regeneration Agency), the government body committed to urban renewal, has chosen its first four flagship projects to revive run-down towns and cities.
Launched last November with resources of pounds 250m, the agency has commissioned feasibility studies into the future of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, south-east London (which includes a group of 18th-century buildings attributed to Sir John Vanbrugh), the regeneration of Lincoln following plans to build a new university there, a large site in Speke and Garston, outside Liverpool, and the revival of part of Newburn, north of Newcastle upon Tyne.
