Cardiff tower plan for demolished Guildford Crescent venues

[City123]

It probably does.

Cities thrive on high density highly connected places

I think they could have done better here though and will be a shame

What's the point of a city with nothing in it? Developers are hell bent on ripping any kind of originality out of the city to be replaced by soulless identikit blocks, Cardiff Council won't be happy until Cardiff is one long string of apartment blocks and chain restaurants

The plan is that if they can move everyone in to the centre they won't have to do anything about the miserable public transport they laughingly call a 'service' !

The chain restaurants is the fault of the public that choose to prioritise price over quality and ethics/morals. You can't blame the council for that.

As for the identikit blocks, well that's where they do have to step in. Look at St David's 2 and the apartments above them - they're discreet and add to the area.

There's nothing wrong with having high-rise apartments it's how it fits in with it's surroundings and it's multi-use occupancy.
