		All appeared well yesterday in the village of Poundbury as the Prince of Wales led foreign dignitaries on a tour of his pet urban planning project.
		The campaign is not only embarrassing for the Prince, who only recently restated his environmental and recycling credentials, but also plays into the hands of Dorchester residents who claim their upmarket neighbours are a drain on the town's resources and must start pulling their weight.
		But now part of the central ethos of the experiment is being challenged by residents who want to know why they aren't allowed road markings or street signs, and have to paint their houses one colour.

		Poundbury's houses are too tidy, too symmetrical, and too small for their stylistic presumptions.
		When I wrote about Poundbury in an American architectural journal, I drew fire from Andres Duany, one of the creators of the nostalgic Disney townships, Seaside and Celebration, who seemed happy to cast himself in the role of Krier's stooge.

	ireland.com - The Irish Times - Thu, Dec 02, 2004 - Architects all ears at success of prince's 'Noddyland' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Poundbury perfectly encapsulates the "Vision of Britain" which Prince Charles put forward in a 1989 book and television documentary, and the 10 basic "principles" that lay behind it, dealing with place, hierarchy, scale, harmony, enclosure, materials, decoration, art, signs and community.
		The nail in their coffin, according to the Duchy's consultant architect, David Oliver - himself a retired county architect for west Dorset - was Solway Ash, where an early-1980s scheme left local people "distraught" over the loss of a sense of place to "anywhere housing"; it was never to happen again.
		The architecture of Poundbury is "unashamedly traditional", paying homage to the rich variety of Dorset materials such as stone, slate, brick and render.

		Poundbury was designed by Léon Krier and, as might be expected, shares certain basics with Seaside.
		And like Seaside, Poundbury is built on inherited land, although in this case it has been in the family since 1342, and instead of the Redneck Riviera it’s known as the Duchy of Cornwall.
		But the landmark difference—the one that truly sets Poundbury apart—is that it was the first new-urban town to make energy efficiency and other green technologies a part of its code.

		When he raises the issue of urban regeneration this weekend in Philadelphia, he is likely to hold Poundbury up as an appealing alternative for sprawl-dependent Americans.
		Stephen Bayley, who helped found London's design museum, once remarked that the village was emblematic of the "thwarted longings for rural cuteness that torment the uneducated English mind." In a screed published in 2003, he called it "artistically dead" and suggested that Charles' promotion of official English architectural styles bordered on Nazi-style nationalism.
		He decreed that Poundbury should be as dense as a small city, with 20 houses to the acre, so people could easily walk to shops and work.

		The buildings themselves are constructed according to the Poundbury Building Code, which insists on local stone as the preferred material and a respect for the English vernacular style.
		Although derided by the architectural profession as 400 acres of pastiche, and as a profoundly backward-looking reaction to Modernism, Poundbury continues to grow.
