I have nothing against concrete used well. It's great as a supporting material. However, while you can undoubtedly do good things with it, its use has given rise to more bad, inhuman urban design than any other material, ever, not only in poorly-structured and poorly-decorated buildings, blank walls and all, but also in motorways, especially concrete flyovers, and, indeed, car parks. Obviously, it would be silly to blame the material for how it's used, but it did happen to enable quite a few very poor uses.
