The Corporation of London gave us the hated Barbican which blights many a view. They also turned a world famous London Bridge in to a Croydon overpass. Then he approved the ill conceived Walkie Talkie tower. I'm smelling The Emporer's New Clothes here...aren't you?
the title of this video might be quite controversial as I did my research in the city of London that it is one of the smartest cities in the world, while here it says that it's the most unplanned city..
not a contradiction. You need guidelines for city planning and construction. you need infrastructure. but the whole point is that one should avoid trying to plan a city from A to Z
So many dad jokes. Apart from that, v interesting from an urban perspective. People do not make country places though; they wreck them. Too many users of PRoW and National Parks e.g.

Man is unbelievably funny, if you get all the references
I could be listen this presentation for a few more hours! Thanks for upload!

You sound like a remoaner.
What is wrong with self-determination as a political concept?
