Well if your theory doesn’t work it isn’t sound.

They said:
“Belonging’ is a basic emotional need – its associations are of the simplest order. From ‘belonging’ – identity – comes the enriching sense of neighbourliness. The short narrow street of the slum succeeds where spacious redevelopment frequently fails.”

Slums are so-called because they are dirty, cramped and unsafe…just like Robin Hood Gardens! The idea that streets could be detached from the urban infrastructure and transplanted several stories up could never work in a social welfare scheme…were they planning on housing local bobbies on their “streets in the sky”?
It smacks of the usual middle-class-architect-preaching-to-the-lowly-worker; CIAM with a poorly developed notion of how communities actually function tacked on. Modernism + populism = winning entry!
To even compare it to the Unite is pretty unfair to Corb, who I’d consider a bit of a chancer anyway. The Unite is pretty, and it works. RHG is ugly and doesn’t work at all!
