Back to the topic, the news today has had reports of the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Dresden, which happened several months after the shelling of Dover stopped.
The rebuilding that took place after the 90% destruction of the city looked fantastic.
After watching it my thoughts went back to the DTIZ site, what that area looked like before the war (from photos, I'm not that old), what it has looked like for the last 50 years and up to the present day, and what we can expect from DTIZ build if it ever happens - mainly adapted agricultural sheds with a 25 year intended lifespan, separated from the fantastic harbour and white cliffs by the worst urban dual carriageway in the country and a block of flats that wouldn't look out of place in 50s USSR.
Where did it all go wrong?
