This [exhibition] is not simply a collection of luscious designs by big names. Prepared by Barcelona Regional, the city's metropolitan planning agency, the show demonstrates how to use architecture and planning to spur urban regeneration. Bloomberg

It's refreshing to read this.
Along the same lines as ground zero...I just returned from Chicago where we presented new Ideas for the Navy Pier...It's disheartening to hear the politicians and local so called architects' thougths.
Hopefully I can make it to NYC to see this for myself...if not it will have to wait 'til sept. when I travel to BCN for a cetain someones wedding!
