Great documentary. One thing I'd like to add is to have more diverse informants, especially the business owners. One business is B2B and not reflecting enough how it interact with the community. The other is a charity, which is also informative, but still differs from normal local business. My suggestion is to have some local businesses that interact with local since it's interesting to see how the Poundbury effect on their profit and the atmosphere of doing business there, and some other things that we might get more insight with. Above all, your approach of providing the contrast of opinion and giving informative detail of the town is really great.

Beautiful,. Human-scale architecture, walkable streets and a generous amount of indistinguishable affordable/social housing... would that Poundbury inspire more like it. I live in Boston, USA and the onslaught of modernist monstrosities increasingly endanger its attraction as an "historically" minded city. I admire Prince, now King, Charles for his inspiration, good taste, and persistence in the face of criticism and mockery by the modernists who are destroying our built environment.

Prince Charles' vision for sanity in the midst of American-instigated uglification of London skyline with concrete-steel-glass eyesores which the most enlightened Prince in the history of England bemoaned in as far back as 1980.If only modernists had lent their ears to the visionary Prince, fair London would have been spared of ugly monster modern architecture even in Sir Christopher Wren's once-adorable classical quarters. Back to basics, back to sane living, back to aesthetic soulful architecture breathing veneration and awe. Love you Prince Charles and King Charles III your kindly light in the midst of encircling darkness.God bless England! God bless King Charles III of the precious island set in the silver ocean!

Poundbury is a heroic attempt to build a real and beautiful place from scratch. There aren't many places like that, and when it was begun there weren't any. Those who disapprove of it aren't worth listening to as they've no desire to do better than the blight we've currently got.

Does "Chester" really come from the Celtic (0'46") ? I always understood it to come from the Latin "Castrum" meaning camp, as in military settlement.

You may actually be right! It's been a while since I've looked into Poundbury and Dorchester, and I remember seeing that "Dor" came from Latin and that "Chester" came from Celtic. I believe I took it from here, but it seems like the "Dor/Dorn" prefixes may have been from Latin AND Celtic languages, whereas "Cester" originally was an old English word for a Roman station. So "Chester" may actually originate from Latin. Good spot! "By 864, the area around Durnovaria was dominated by the Saxons who referred to themselves as Dorsaetas, 'People of the Dor' - Durnovaria. The original local name would have been Dorn-gweir giving the Old English Dornwary. The town became known as Dornwaraceaster or Dornwaracester, combining the original name Dor/Dorn from the Latin and Celtic languages with cester, an Old English word for a Roman station. This name evolved over time to Dorncester/Dornceaster and Dorchester.[14]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorchester,_Dorset#cite_ref-14

Something to bare in mind when listening to criticism of Poundbury, the poor get to live in nice houses and people who can afford to spend over a million pounds on a house actively choose to live next to them. Not a very "snob" thing to do. Poundbury is over 30 years old now and people are prepared to spend 30% more per sqm to live there instead of somewhere else in Dorchester. King Charlie did a great job and has shown up the architect snobs who refuse to design buildings and places that people actually want to live in.

Poundbury is a perfect example of how to build an aesthetically pleasing beautiful town with fantastic urban planning, towns these days are cluttered and congested the plan to reduce cars is a good one and more places should adopt this. For those who say its 'fake' dont understand that all throughout history we have built new versions of old traditional buildings, no one would say that the buildings built during the gothic revival period are fake so how is taking inspiration from the Georgian period fake? This was clearly done to make a town that feels welcoming, as the late sir Roger scruton put it "Architecture, like dress, is an exercise in good manners, and good manners involve the habit of skillful insincerity - the habit of saying "good morning" to those whose mornings you would rather blight, and of passing the butter to those you would rather starve." "There is a deep human need for beauty and if you ignore that need in architecture your buildings will not last"

We visited Poundbury whilst holidaying in Dorset this summer. We wanted to make our own minds up. We were blown away! We love the mixture of different houses/flats, the space, the easy parking and most of all the friendliness of people in shops and on the street. We did think some of the architecture reminded us of London so I can understand some local people might not like it. But it really isn’t grimy, horrendously expensive, London. It’s clean, you can walk everywhere without crowds and pollution, and we found people are very friendly. I guess it is, as some say, like Marmite. You either love it or hate it! Interesting documentary; thank you.

That is sad, on the other hand I think it is very clear that the philosophy of Poundbury is dense housing and lack of private gardens in favour of large public green areas and shared community buildings and public squares, so I am sure anyone moving in is given very clear guidelines that everyone adheres to. If that is something a potential resident objects to Poundbury may not be for them. Like one of the business owners mentioned, he doesn’t live in Poundbury as he wanted a private garden. I would also imagine there may be shared gardens or areas where people can garden together in cooperatives, so it wouldn’t be as if there is no opportunity to grow plants. I do appreciate that we all like our little garden/planters/balcony and perhaps those little green areas should be designed into new homes more.

my only critique of the architecture is that to my knowledge it's entirely a visual thing, there still is overreliance on steel and modern concrete, which makes these timeless looking buildings a lot less timeless in reality. traditional should be more than visual flair, and also in practice.
