Whyte advocated bottom-up planning of smaller public places. All 3 plazas (River Point, Wolf Point and 150 Riverside) are top-down planning from the developer where, naturally, the plaza is for the benefit of the property itself. The primary beneficiaries of the plazas are the users and visitors to the towers.

None of the 3 rigid corporate green spaces is designed to service the public or even provide modestly convenient access. Eye candy - to be admired by the public in passage - and not much more.
