The traditional town was planned for a society which no longer exists. Through combining a sense of nostalgia, and desire for what was once Newport's unique identity, it may be possible to reintroduce the variety of human activity to Newport with a new network of insertions that mediate with the existing urban fabric.
The new insertions around Newport were placed according to cultural and historical losses where the sites have been redeveloped with buildings independent of context.
The new insertions are raised above ground to create a new layer of living on a separate plane so both the old town centre and the new insertions can feature simultaneously without reducing the quality of the original English townscape at street level.
