John believed that in all of us, there exists the capacity for great courage and a longing to do what’s right. We are so lucky to have had him show us the way. I offered some thoughts today on his life and how, like him, we can give it all we have. obama.medium.com/my-eulogy-f…

It's good to hear the Prime Minister talk about getting the economy going with spending on schools, hospitals and infrastructure. But lets urge @BorisJohnson to make sure the arts are included in the plans. As F.D.R.'s Depression era New Deal proved, it makes huge sense (thread)

This is the most illuminating book I’ve read about American urban renewal, & I especially appreciate the nuanced way it shows planning culture evolving over the decades. Much advised.

“They don't only matter to the economy, they critically represent an investment in our quality of life.”
Great piece from @PeterBazalgette @ObserverUK on the vital importance of arts and culture to our society.

Have booked flight already! – at Ealing, London
Dürer @AlbertinaMuseum — some of the most glorious things I have ever seen. I flew from London to see it and waited in line in the freezing rain on a bleak Saturday morning and I regret nothing. I can not recommend it strongly enough; on until 6 January 2020. More photos soon!
