Plans are afoot to regenerate the 'Western Harbour' area of Bristol with a new road layout which will supposedly improve matters for drivers and local residents alike. We've been here before: the Cumberland Basin Road Scheme of the 1960s hired the pre-eminent landscape designer of the era, Dame Sylvia Crowe, to create a public piazza brimming with modernist optimism, and yet within a decade or so we ended up with reviled public spaces described as "an apalling eyesore".
In this video I look back at the '60s plans, how and why reality turned out differently, and ponder whether the 'Western Harbour' scheme can do better.
