We all acknowledge the positive things, but one of the sad things is the extent of gated communities in the docklands area. The number of such communities is massive compared to the traditional communities. We must keep an eye on that so that we can have space for families and the traditional type of housing and it is not all high-rise.

The DDDA would love to have 20-storey buildings all over the docklands area.
