What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

Slums are great.Seriously.
They use land very efficiently; they don't require people to spend huge chunks of their waking lives commuting; they foster strong communities. For sure, they have their problems - not least poverty and poor sanitation - but there's a lot city planners could learn from the way slums work.

Tower blocksare an even more efficient use of the land.
Personally, I don't fancy either.

My hunch is that, if the next century or so is going to be bearable,what people fancy is going to have to be sacrificed on the altar of what's possible, sustainable, and just.
