John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins takes us on a guide across various member of Prince of Wales Crescent Resident’s Association (POWCRA) drawings of their ideal design and floor plan for the Prince of Wales Crescent in order to support communal living. Many of the designs include communal living spaces, workshop areas, meeting spaces, allotments for planting vegetables, craft spaces and play areas. Their idea is to create an integrated community. Many of the drawings include spaces for play and for leisure, with car barriers unanimous across most of the diagrams. It begs the question, why does the council not include the voice of residents when building spaces for living?
