ive always preferred negative public space
if uve ever read "a pattern language" (which is essentially the architects/urban planners bible) they have a chapter on how small negative public spaces (spaces surrounded by bldgs, rather than a bldgs surrounded by space) tend to be the most dynamic and populated
ill take that over the federal development proposal any day
now THATS 60s style city planning/public housing look-a-like
plus it breaks up the lot into managable walkable blocks
