Worth an estimated $13 billion, the British aristocrat is now the world’s wealthiest youngest person aged under 30.

Using the waste of hundreds of coffee shops, restaurants and office blocks, the business aims to replace conventional fuels and chemicals with their own organically produced, recycled fare. Meanwhile, The Westminster Foundation has long been the charitable arm of the Grosvenor Estate, awarding over £40 million in grants. And, with Hugh Grosvenor now in charge, the list of 1,500 charitable organisations already supported looks set to grow further.

At Arup, we have joined the challenge – with interventions large and small – to deliver better cities in our ongoing mission to shape a better world.” Gregory Hodkinson Arup Group Chairman Arup Design Book www.arup.com 50 city stories explored Foreword Gregory Hodkinson The urbanisation challenge is big, it is real and it is with us now. Between 1950 and 2050, the global population is likely to quadruple, from 2.5bn to nearly 10bn. Not so long ago, many commentators believed that such a number would be unsupportable. Yet the inexorable growth continues. The urban population is growing at an even faster rate. In the next 35 years, the number of city dwellers will increase from 4bn today to over 6.5bn. Africa and Asia will accommodate 90% of this growth. The rate, scale and concentration of urbanisation in this century is, of course, unprecedented. To accommodate it, the resources of cities, nations, international institutions, civil society and the private sector are being stretched. If our cities are to be efficient, liveable, resilient and sustainable, the relatively long life-cycle of urban development means we can ill afford to get it wrong. It is a challenge that cities around the world must confront, regardless of their size, wealth or location. Future generations will live with how we handle it. At Arup, we have joined this challenge – with interventions large and small – to deliver better cities in our ongoing mission to shape a better world.

    DEBUNKING THE 'ISLAMISATION' MYTH ___________________________________________ Edmund Standing DEBUNKING THE ‘ISLAMISATION’ MYTH Why Britain Will Not Become an Islamic State ________________________________________ ________________________________________ About the author Edmund Standing is the author of The BNP and the Online Fascist Network (Centre for Social Cohesion, 2009) and co-author (with Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens) of Blood & Honour: Britain’s Far-Right Militants (Centre for Social Cohesion & Nothing British, 2010). CONTENTS Preface 3 Introduction 4 I Cultural Pessimism and the ‘Islamisation’ Myth 5 II The Myth of International Muslim Power 8 III The Myth of Muslim Power in Britain 12 IV The Myth of a ‘Demographic Time Bomb’ 25 Conclusion: Against the Culture of Despair 29 References 31 PREFACE I am an atheist, a secularist, and an anti-fascist. I have no interest in defending Islamic religious beliefs, nor the Qur’an (quite the opposite, in fact). I also have no time for those who seek to ‘understand’ Islamism or downplay the abhorrent nature of religious fascism. That said, I am also committed to a rational and just approach to my fellow human beings, seeking to treat them in the same way, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and so on. To think Islam as a set of beliefs is false and potentially dangerous is not the same thing at all as thinking that all Muslims are inherently dangerous or that I should view them as qualitatively different to other human beings. In the post-9/11 West, we have seen the worrying growth of a paranoid, bigoted approach to Muslims which increasingly views them as an undifferentiated mass, as an inherent Other, and as a powerful fifth column conspiring to destroy the West and enslave it to Sharia law.

    Thomas Heatherwick, Architecture’s Showman His giant new structure aims to be an Eiffel Tower for New York. Is it genius or folly? February 26, 2018 | By IAN PARKER Stephen Ross, the seventy-seven-year-old billionaire property developer and the owner of the Miami Dolphins, has a winningly informal, old-school conversational style. On a recent morning in Manhattan, he spoke of the moment, several years ago, when he decided that the plaza of one of his projects, Hudson Yards—a Doha-like cluster of towers on Manhattan’s West Side—needed a magnificent object at its center. He recalled telling him- self, “It has to be big. It has to be monumental.” He went on, “Then I said, ‘O.K. Who are the great sculptors?’ ” (Ross pronounced the word “sculptures.”) Before long, he met with Thomas Heatherwick, the acclaimed British designer of ingenious, if sometimes unworkable, things. Ross told me that there was a presentation, and that he was very impressed by Heatherwick’s “what do you call it—Television? Internet?” An adviser softly said, “PowerPoint?” Ross was in a meeting room at the Time Warner Center, which his company, Related, built and partly owns, and where he lives and works. We had a view of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The room was filled with models of Hudson Yards, which is a mile and a half southwest, between Thirtieth and Thirty-third Streets, and between Tenth Avenue and the West Side Highway. There, Related and its partner, Oxford Properties Group, are partway through erecting the complex, which includes residential space, office space, and a mall—with such stores as Neiman Marcus, Cartier, and Urban Decay, and a Thomas Keller restaurant designed to evoke “Mad Men”—most of it on a platform built over active rail lines.

One year on, having concluded its work in presenting this report, I believe that the Commission has fulfilled that duty and has provided a set of recommendations which will give effect to an appropriate and compelling memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to all of those who were persecuted by the Nazis.

Be aware that information may have changed since it was published. Earlier this year, as he was stepping off the back of a New Routemaster, a friend of mine had his knee twatted by a door mechanism that was channeling the till from Open All Hours. Reeling from the pain, he wondered whether it was the The Londons New Routemaster or the bus that was to blame. Actually, it was Boris Johnson's fault. According to a promise Johnson had made to Londoners, that door was never going to be there in the first place. In his former guise as Mayor of London back inJohnson had pledged — as a flagship part of his manifesto, mind — that every New Routemaster would have a 'hop on, hop off' option, each vehicle manned by a conductor. It was going to be just like in the good old days. If that sounded too good financially reckless to be true, it was. Bythe open platform, and accompanying The Londons New Routemaster, were consigned The Londons New Routemaster the scrapheap. The conductors' job, by the way, had never been to sell tickets, which they couldn't. It was, presumably, to ensure that the mayor's encouragement for Londoners to leap at moving vehicles with Flynn-esque derring-do, didn't end up in a flurry of law suits.

  • Review of the Garden Bridge Project

    Review of the Garden Bridge Project

    The Garden Bridge Executive Summary 1. On 19 October, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan formally appointed me to undertake a review of the Garden Bridge project. This review does not seek to assess whether building a Garden Bridge over the River Thames is a good idea; that is a matter for the Mayor, and I made clear at the start of this review process that I had no view. I have studied the papers to which I have been given access and have held meetings with relevant stakeholders and others who have asked to see me. 2. My conclusions on value for money, escalating costs and conduct and procedures are set out in this summary: Value for money 3. Decisions on the Garden Bridge were driven by electoral cycles rather than value for money. From its inception when there was confusion as to its purpose, through a weak business case that was constructed after contracts had been let and money had been spent, little regard has been had to value for money. 4. The original ambition to fund the Garden Bridge solely through private finance has been abandoned. Furthermore the goalposts have moved several times and each time the risks to the taxpayer have intensified. Looking to the future, the costs of construction have escalated and are likely to increase further. What started life as a project costing an estimated £60 million is likely to end up costing over £200 million. At the same time the Garden Bridge Trust has lost two major donors and has only secured £69 million in private funding pledges, leaving a gap of at least £70 million that needs to be raised for the capital investment.
