The war on pastiche is fuelling Nimbyism – @TeatherEdward writes that the solution to Nimbyism is building beautiful things so that people don’t object

By demonising pastiche, planning policy is encouraging the Nimbys while also making our towns and cities less beautiful in the process.

🧵Under Westminster City Council’s planning policies you couldn’t build Parliament today.

Councils need to stop waging war on 'pastiche'
If you prefer the building on the right to the car park on the left, then you are guilty of the worst architectural crime: liking "pastiche".
Me in @CapX on how local councils waging war on "pastiche" developments is stopping things getting built at all👇

This COP is set against an uneasy backdrop. Last year was the hottest on record, as global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees.
Despite this, many nations attending COP30 have yet to submit their net zero plans, and the US is not attending at all.
So, is COP really worth it?
This is the question on many commentators’ minds, but it ignores the significant achievements that COP has already made, and how it still remains the most effective tool for international climate action.
If we are to have any hope of serious climate action, we have to come together and do what is possible.
COP isn’t perfect, but it is collaborative and more effective than nothing.
And when it works, by giving countries the freedom to act, not bog it down in red tape, it exhibits the best of international cooperation.
