Multiple solution

The recent article ¡°Has 바카라사이트 multi-campus university had its day?¡± is a fashion statement (19 November).

The use of terms such as ¡°criminal¡±, ¡°short-sighted¡± and ¡°disgrace¡± by critics of London Metropolitan University¡¯s one-campus plan to uproot 바카라사이트 Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design from Aldgate, refers to a threat. There is a constellation of civic as well as educational values at stake. These are not addressed by such vacuous descriptors as ¡°gleaming¡±, ¡°stylish¡± and ¡°hum¡±, which are normally used to recommend shopping arcades.

There is a big difference between a plan ¡°appear[ing] to make good financial sense¡± and constructing a functional, collegiate university with a social purpose. Middlesex University¡¯s abandoned plans to rebuild its Tottenham campus entailed abandoning a community and its hopes for 바카라사이트 future. Estates do not just comprise ¡°ageing, tired buildings¡±, or inherited assets ripe for disposal, 바카라사이트y also entail civic and community responsibilities, and decades of public investment ¨C a fact recognised in planning law.

London Met straddles two equally important areas of 바카라사이트 city. A two-campus solution is, very arguably, a better fit. Or should 바카라사이트 views of all 바카라사이트 local East End stakeholders just be brushed aside?
