Background
Plymouth is one of the last low level city’s in the UK. Many of the new towns, and cities destroyed by the Luftwaffe during the post war period during the 20th century used Abercrombie and Lord Astors vision of a new low level spacious city as the premise for their designs. These plans will alter the city centre forever and it will lose this historic context. Situated on a plateau of land where parts are below sea level the infrastructure and facilities was not built for such intense housing.
