I took comfort from the requirement that any business activity must hyperlink to the needs of its main (cultural) customers and be subordinate to the “civic and cultural” character of the square as a complete. When Melbourne at last got a type of sq. in the early Eighties it was in the bastardised form of a “civic” space that doubled because the forecourt of a world hotel.
