There might be people from that community that share my ideas or at least seome of them.

Good news! They start to think about how move on from where they have located themselves on the map. A cleaner city is an issue. More bin men are demanded to work in the city. Other people brandish the cleanliness of Singapore as an example to follow: if Singapore can do it, we should be able to do it also. However, and well spotted, one must start first to change oneself to convince others: “You should not drop it (rubbish) in the first place!” Civic ...

Maps are a marvellous tool for time travel. The present is displayed on the table and everybody locates its own whereabouts easily. The surprise lies in the changes that each person acknowledges: “This was all open land from Wavertree to Childwall. I remember that as a child I walked through fields and open space to Childwall and then came back. How amazing that it is all built on today!” “There was ...

At the moment the council pays a large bill to keep these areas clean and tidy, maintain the infrastructure and services etc. Because of the dereliction these areas are unproductive no go areas, they are depressing to say the least. Current definitions of land are designed to make it possible to sell land. Land has other uses which are not visualised by these definitions. Size does not mean wealth. Most of ...
