European cities have a better handle on inner city living and are genuinely less suburban. They accept denser living more readily and are also less hung up on ownership. Let's take the centre of Paris or Amsterdam for example...whoops, maybe not



I agree our cities are gettting better and there's more people in them and it should be encouraged. I don't think suburbia is an appropriate model for the inner cities (as recently suggested by Beatrice Frankel's advocacy of the Eldonian Village).
