I'm not into homogeneous streets of identikit built form. I'm just curious about the insides.

Unlike Melbourne, we have a habit of ruining the past of the city and our unique spaces with cold, harsh buildings with no character. The CBD and southern end of it around Surry Hills possibly the best example. I think a lot of my sentimentality is due to the memories had dancing in and around that architecture in the 1990s.. Reclaiming the spaces and giving them new purpose I think is the way forward. Melbourne has done a pretty good job of this, but still I think they will lose out to development $$.
