@DianaJA76@CarlaNicholso19@shivmalik@RosieP4 The Orbit in Canada - potentially up to 150,000 people; Oosterworld up to 30,000. the development in Utah is an existing city district covering just 700 acres. Bournville is a suburb of Birmingham and was completed over 100 years ago and has a population of around 25,000
@CarlaNicholso19@DianaJA76@shivmalik@RosieP4 A new city of a million people is not the answer to any of these issues which is why not a single country in the entire western world is doing it.
@Repulsemonkey@sallydjbarley@MurrrrMurray@RosieP4 The local landowners who have signed up to the Kingsway Solar Farm proposal are committed until the early 2030s in any case. The proposed timetable is farcical
@HenryPryor Hilarious that you claim the standard of debate on the subject is high on X when Mr Malik blocks pretty much everyone who raises any objections to his plans
@MurrrrMurray@sallydjbarley@RosieP4 You’re right. That is absolutely the way to see it. The power of the Jockey Club alone will stop it in its tracks let alone all the more obvious impediments
@sallydjbarley@RosieP4@SmartGrowthUK We are fortunate that in the main, our most significant local landowners are responsible and genuinely care about their community and the environment
@SmartGrowthUK@RosieP4 As I understand it though the economics of this project depend on landowners not benefiting from the land value uplift, not in a significant way anyway.
@SmartGrowthUK@RosieP4 Actually the land owners are not supportive. I know it seems incredible but the plan seems to rest on what to Shiv is an amazing discovery; that agricultural land without development potential is cheap. Of course this is something the average 12 year old knows and understands
@MurrrrMurray This guy really is incredible. He obviously isn’t cut out to be a property developer as he can’t even seem to take the most minor pushback to his appalling plans
