Editorial : March 2001

With the Edinburgh Park G4 Competition (Burrell Company) winner announced – not the most adventurous of schemes – and the completion of the landmark Princes Exchange building at Tollcross this month we are focusing on the contemporary public realm: what is it? is it endangered? who controls its creation?

Ronaldson’s Wharf is now through planning, and the Granton Masterplan is about to be submitted: what do the Leith and Granton communities think about these developments? Now that Morrisons (adj Malmaison), Mowlem (Water St.) and Port of Leith (Coburg St.) have all taken a bite out of the few green spaces left in Leith, has the fight to save public amenity by the Shore been lost?

We will report on this in next month’s Editorial. March’s Editorial was not completed due to site restructuring, and due to me moving house.
