Seriously though that is exactly my point, and the more data, information and

solutions we can come up with the better.

 

What we perhaps need to be thinking about is 'elegant solutions predicated on

the

uniqueness of place' (Wes Jackson, quoting John Todd in 'A Future For The Land')

rather than generalisations that don't always stand up to deeper analysis....
