The Roger FitzGerald Lecture following the AGM: Planning a new town – did Poundbury get it right? - by Matthew Roberts

23-09-2026 8:00 pm

In 1987 land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall was earmarked for development by the local authority. The then Prince Charles took a keen interest from the start and indeed wrote a book “Vision of Britain – a personal view of Architecture.”  The Duchy of Cornwall, eager to promote the prince’s ideas chose to lead the planning itself rather than sell the land to an established builder. Construction started in 1993 and is nearing completion.
