I present the latest results from three new surveys of the galaxy distribution which have been specially designed to detect large scale structure. The surveys provide strong evidence that our Universe contains more structure on scales gsim 10h-1 Mpc than would have been expected in simple versions of the Cold Dark Matter model and pose a challenge for proponents of scaleinvariant fluctuations and inflation. I discuss briefly whether these results require fundamentally new ideas for the origin of cosmic structure or whether the basic features of the CDM model can be retained.
