Fife Eco-Town?
Where better to have a development touted as Scotland’s first ‘Eco-Town’
than in the home county of our Prime Minister, the man who has promoted
the concept. But is this a genuine ‘Eco-Town’ or yet another
example of greenwash? Fife

Gogar Interchange
Edinburgh Airport Rail Link abandoned as expected, but instead an airport/tram
interchange station at Gogar is planned. Meanwhile works are already well
underway on the new road to the airport from Gogar roundabout
Donaldsons – Richard Murphy
As outlined in our news of 8 Sep Richard Murphy Architects are no longer
working on this project for CALA. BD report that Richard is “bitterly
disappointed” and “incredulous” at CALA’s statement
that his firm had been contracted only for initial designs, and claimed
he had been “used in a cynical way as a ‘trophy architect’
to secure planning”. Ouch.
