👉 Meet Poundbury, a controversial yet successful new town built in the beautiful Dorset landscape. The project, initiated by King Charles III when he was still the Prince of Wales, is an example of how we can create places that are beautiful, sustainable, with affordable homes and the use of craftsmanship. In this video we’ll discover not only the story of its creation, but the lessons we can learn from the town so others can hopefully duplicate its success.
