What will happen in the Thames Gateway?
The government is presenting the project as a vision of towns in years to come, regenerating an economically depressed region. But its own favourite architect, Lord Rogers, recently told the House of Lords: "There is something wrong when the Thames Gateway - Europe's biggest regeneration project - is still peppering the banks of the beautiful River Thames with shoddy, Toytown houses and Dan Dare glass towers. I fear that we are building the slums of tomorrow."
