Prasad: only two or three eco-towns should go ahead

摘要

A key government adviser on eco-towns told a Labour conference fringe event this week that only two or three of the plans were good enough to be developed. Sunand Prasad, the president of the RIBA and a member of the eco-towns challenge panel set up by the communities department to check the quality of the developments, said all eco-towns needed to allow residents to live low-carbon lifestyles. He said: "I'd be very happy to see just two or three eco towns. Ten would definitely be too many on the evidence we have before us."
