Strangely Charles is probably in tune with a lot of views expressed on here with regard to a range of things like climate change.
Yes, I think that's true. He is a fan of "New Urbanism", a movement started in the 1980's. Among its leading lights are two architect / urban planner brothers, Rob and Leon Krier. The basic idea is simple enough - small neighborhoods of genuine mixed use, where pretty much everything the average person needs is within walking distance - minimizing car use, improving the environment, minimizing energy consumption, creating better health outcomes for the residents. Poundbury near Dorchester is the first community designed on their principles. Construction is well advanced and planned for completion by 2025.
