The appointment of Peter Hennessy (Lord Hennessy of Nympsfield) is particularly welcome & I think he's the first historian to be so honoured.

In a similar manner to the failed ‘neighbourhood unit’ idea of the 1940s and 1950s, the 15 minute city won’t work. People’s friendship and kinship networks, retail and leisure activities, require lots of spatial mobility far beyond the locality.
