LN, As soon as Henry said 'any colour you want', I'm sure there were people thinking 'oh no, buildings made just for the car will destroy our cities'.

Of course, you could say the train got suburbs going in earnest and to get back ot, Manchester's expansion is often the text book story!

So yeah, maybe Auge was first but I will confess I hadn't heard of him. Duany has built though, so that makes him (or them) much more relevant imho.

Anyway, thinking of MAN city, it is more an add-on to the site, not in the centre of it - more like Stokley Park? I'd me much more interested if it was in the central complex. Curious if there are any height restrictions to airport buildings - especially if behind the range of the control tower?
