If I had to choose one word to describe Lisbon it would be texture. Texture on sidewalks, on streets, on walls, on stairs, on lampposts, on railings. So much detail for the eye.

WATCH: How can you transform a city for cars into a city for people? It takes real civic leadership, & a LOT of large & small moves. Great city-making has to be fought for, as @Anne_Hidalgo & countless others who have fought for #RivesDeSeine know. #Paris

80 years ago we made a historic mistake & assumed that the freedom which the early motor car promised could work well in the town & city centre. Slowly, too slowly, we’re righting that wrong to the benefit of residents, air quality & local economies ... economist.com/europe/2019/08…

Here’s the new bridge at Tintagel @EnglishHeritage which I shot last week. Designed by @NeyandPartners and @WilliamMatthewsPartnership. Two 30M cantilevered spans and a bed of upturned slate for its walkway - what a replacement.
