It is thenature of the interface between the two, which has a critical impact on thequality of the spaces between those buildings. The importance of theblock to city life is well rehearsed, and in any case, we seldom find ourselvesin the business of making cities from scratch. But we are in the business ofmaking new houses, neighbourhoods and new local centres, and we need lots ofthem: 250,000 a year to be imprecise.
