		<description><![CDATA[When Norman Foster won the international competition for the master plan of the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong last spring, I was disappointed. I thought it was plug-and-play urbanism, a crowd-pleasing design that had too much in common with so many interchangeable urban neighbourhoods that have sprung up in the past 20 years.

The promenade that runs for 850 metres along the Central ferry piers is one of the best public spaces in Hong Kong. I suspect this partly by accident. In the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a city defined by its harbour, Hong Kong has done a remarkable job of blocking people off from it. Highways, private development, cargo yards and storage depots take up more than 60 percent of Victoria Harbour&#8217;s shorelines. The rest of the harbourfront is a higgledy-piggledy network of disjointed promenades, some better than others. Luckily, [...]]]></description>

Cars barrel down multilane boulevards devoid of people; a weed-strewn lot slated to become a monument to the country&#8217;s deeply-loved former president, Juan Perón, lies unconvincingly fallow. Then there are the railroad tracks severing [...]]]></description>
