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.
