I'll like to have a discussion on the politics of historical preservation and contemporary architecture.
Its a hot topics right now in my city, due my local council giving the thumbs to the Liverpool Waters project.

I'll be quite happy to give an Architectural overview of my city, if you interested in having some background about my city.
Does your own city (or area) have urban planning issues like this, if so please share them.
How have they been resolved?
Should new buildings destroy civic history? Should historical preservation stop progress?
Is there a happy medium between the two having both the old & the new in aesthetic harmony?
