Described as "strategically important gap sites within Edinburgh’s city centre"
Gap sites? Caltongate, Fountainbridge, Shurbhill and Haymarket yes, but not India Buildings, St Andrew Square, Donaldson School, Dewar Place, Kings Stable Road, Quarter Mile, Royal Mile, St James Center
I'd describe the list of 12 as ones that will get through planning permission with no questions asked. Minimal tram contributions, minimal if any affordable housing etc etc

That's the first time I've seen illustrations of the St Andrew Square building - it's an abomination! They demolished one of the country's finest modernist buildings to replace it with that - truly depressing.

There's depressingly little being developed on anything but a small scale in Edinburgh that isn't a luxury hotel, Grade A offices or high-end "apartments" (for people too posh to live in flats).
