Conjecture Glen’s worked with a view to please? Unlikely (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concrete jungle

'a view to please? unlikely' is the definition.
(concrete buildings are often considered ugly)

'conjecture glen's worked' is the wordplay.
'worked' indicates an anagram.
'conjecture'+'glen'='conjectureglen'
'conjectureglen' with letters rearranged gives 'CONCRETE JUNGLE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for concrete jungle that I've seen before include "area with bleak outlook" , "one far from beauty spot" , "estate that's unloved" , "ugly high-rise area" , "city - with 5a" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
