Building towards a big picture
• The City is a mosaic
• Each action has its part to play
• Often the micro is as important as the macro
• Collaboration and communication
• Rome was not built in a day

Impediments
• Attitude
• Certainty
• Mine subsidence
• Availability of finance
• Market demand
• Lack of balance in revitalisation

The whole is bigger than the sum of the parts
