Green living Sam Wardhan, wildlife filmmaker and MD of Red Dog Film CiC Something more philosophical this week, as I have a core question I want to consider. But let's set the scene first. Here is a statistic of which few people are aware: all seven billion of the world's population would fit into Texas. And it would only have the same population density as the city of New York.
Q: Seven billion sounds like an awful lot of people. How long would it take to say "Hi!" to everyone? A: If you were just saying "Hi!" and not pausing for a conversation it would take approximately 224 years. Q: There's not much chance of making them all Facebook friends then. But at least there should be a bigger choice of players when Wales goes to the World Cup.
A: Yes. Wales, which had a population of just 480,000 in 1750 will climb from three mill... of Texas and live there with a population density enjoyed by the residents of New York City.". Q: Ne...

Ross Martin's piece on why we apparently cannot get our city squares right demonstrates Iain Macwhirter's point about the Scottish psyche (Square roots, Comment, February 10). Does he really believe we are the only place without wonderful city squares - or, indeed, that ours are not good? While criticising Glasgow's George Square as being dominated by traffic, he cites New York's Times Square as a place where people want to linger. Cross the street in both places and you will see that Glasgow is by far easier and safer. Mr Martin gives examples of world-scale cities with a mass of population and density of activity that allows their "squares" to be lively and interesting (although not always attractive or comfortable). Public places of the scale of Red Square, Tiananmen Square, or Tahri...

WITHIN the next 10 years London's population will pass its 1939 all-time high of 8.6 million -- and march remorselessly on towards the nine million mark, making us the first city in Europe to hit this figure and putting us ahead of New York. Official figures just published show that the capital's population is exploding at a faster rate than anyone had predicted. Between the census counts of 2001 and last year, London soaked up an additional one million souls -- the equivalent of the entire population of England's second city, Birmingham -- with 8.174 million people now living here. In some boroughs the growth has been truly spectacular. The population of Tower Hamlets shot up by 26.4 per cent, more than twice the rate of the whole of London, with Newham (23 per cent) and Hackney (19 pe...

I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. I mean that quite literally. My childhood home was an unspectacular red brick terraced house in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The nearby railway bridge bore huge steam trains that flew directly past my bedroom window. Under the arch of that bridge, though, down along a path, was a quite different proposition: a nice middle-class area of streets lined with trees and smart detached villas. Not that a sense of divided society stopped me drawing.

LONDON'S resurgence over the past 30 years has been remarkable. Far from playing second fiddle as a financial centre to Frankfurt, as was once predicted, our capital is now the most vital city in the world. Only New York can compete with its vibrant mix of business, culture and life. But London faces two serious challenges: the growing gulf between rich and poor, and the persistent shortage of housing. More than 40,000 households are homeless or in temporary accommodation, a further 220,000 live in overcrowded conditions, and population growth is expected to add a further 850,000 households by 2031. Meanwhile, the chronic housing shortage is pushing prices beyond the reach of many Londoners. The question is not whether we should build more housing, but how and where we do so.

IT COULD only happen in Stoke. Given all the traffic problems we have, the only flyover is the one by the Festival Park (and Holden Bridge, of a sort) which has only a small function. It was probably just a prestige project introduced at the time of the Garden Festival to give the visitor a false impression of the area as a whole, that Stoke was all modern and functional, when there was nothing further from the truth.

RECESSION has very few upsides. But it has, at least, made people think more deeply about the future. It has forced policymakers to rethink their ideas. Part of that process is to ask what will be the big industries of tomorrow? Less than two years ago, if someone had predicted that not one but two major Scottish clearing banks would be nearly bankrupt, most would have laughed them out of the country.
