General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours
The British have done some remarkable thing architecturally around London, but I agree that I doubt that the Palace of Westminster could be easily remodeled without controversy.  The Germans did a sensitive restoration of the Reichstag building that included a very modern glass dome that ultimately didn't seem out of place.

The Americans are also fixing up the Washington Capitol but going for a straight restoration.

It's nice to see the mixture of restoration and new builds in downtown Kitchener.  Hopefully this won't lead to the downtown becoming too monotonous.
