Poundbury, on the outskirts of Dorchester in Dorset, is built on land belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall, the estate of His Royal Highness Prince Charles. The prince takes a keen interest in the built environment and has been an outspoken critic of modern Poundbury he is creating a new town based on his own architectural principals and a vision of a harmonious community built on a human scale. In style and appearance the buildings look old and traditional but in reality everything is new and has been built since 1993, which is when construction began.
