Which of course is one reason why we need projects like this, to boost
city centres and sustainable employment patterns - working in the
suburbs will be car-based, with all the congestion/pollution/carbon
emissions problems associated. And note that we're talking about
Britain here, where there hasn't been the same flight to the suburbs
as in North America.
