LOWER RENT TO ATTRACT TALENT • Landlords and retailers brought together to plan Covent Garden as a core of perfume and jewelry stores and outer ring of prime real estate • Planning important vision to the future is limited (where will they be on 5 years?) • Village type atmosphere with good service, kids welcome and a pleasant experience • Increasingly talented young British designers going online; we need to attract them in

PUBLIC BULDINGS AT THE CORE • Draconian regulations and close-minded agenda for years • Transitory spaces which need decay and revitalization of shops, not preserved Victoriana • Apple stores work – spaces to play, good design, browse for free – Dixons doesn’t • Starbucks emulates your living room, a place to hang out • Reintegrate the public library and council block but with no doors and hushed interior, the Idea Store in Whitechapel has done it.

MAKE TALKING THE NEW HAIRCUT • The person who doesn't sell you anything, didn’t offer a service mending or storing but dealt with your soul. • Priests now being replaced with therapists, but hidden away upstairs – make them central to our community • Restaurants survive as a social catalyst so why not encourage places to talk, so they become as common as the nail bar.
