Absolutely. It will be very difficult to erase past serious errors, particularly constructing buildings with no street interaction. Terrible planning from the 1960s and 1970s like the buildings between Bank and Kent. Basically a wasteland.

Nevertheless, we can't give up. We need to make an effort to re-animate the street somehow.
