“[Joe] Berridge has been appointed to the British government's Commission on Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE). This is the statutory design panel that offers advice on all matters relating to urban development. That means anything from new schools and roads to waterfront revitalization and office towers…

‘Effectively, CABE is a national body mandated to comment on the quality of cities,’ [Berridge] continues. ‘It says something quite profound about the national government that it has decided this is a national priority. That's so far away from the discourse in Canada.’"
