Where to build the walls that protect us is an opportunity for us all to imagine a future city. Our city of Exeter. We’ll try not to get too distracted by Utopian visions or logistics.

In a society obsessed with instant gratification for individuals the prospects for community futures are not clear, so who does care? Probably not...
