The future Labour government, according to images released by Angela Rayner and Create Streets, plans to build Edwardian-style new towns with leafy streets, charming terrace houses, mansion blocks, and Gothic spires. However, this election promise may not be fulfilled due to the changing construction methods of the time. Right-wing commentator Henry Hill points out that current regulations rule out features such as flights of steps up to front doors and low balustrades with widely spaced railings, which are essential for wheelchair access.

The smarter solution would be to design new towns that incorporate the virtues of Edwardian streets, such as trees and well-made details, but use the benefits of modern construction, such as good insulation and double-glazing. This would also allow disabled people to visit their friends' homes and toddlers not to bounce from windows on the York stone pavement.

The artist of the images is reluctant to include anyone who might definitively be identified as anything other than white, making the urban utopia appear caucasian. The Evening Standard, a daily print version of the newspaper, portrays the capital as both a glamorous metropolis and a fearful hellhole, often combining tabloid front sections with broadsheet middle sections.

On Friday, the seventh anniversary of the fire that killed 72 people in Grenfell Tower, it is evident that effective regulation not only saves lives but also benefits businesses. The waste that has gone into replacing defective cladding on blocks of flats and the millions spent addressing the aftermath of the fire could have been avoided if construction work had been done correctly in the first place.
