That can certainly work on a practical level in terms of being able to get around. A good example is Singapore (where you'd rather be underground given the heat and the rain that seems to hit every afternoon right when you need to get to a meeting).
But I'm talking about more than being able to get around on foot. I just think it's out of scale and uninteresting at street level, other than staring up at the towers. My criticism is in the same vein as my comments in another thread about Le Corbusier.

I was there last June, and the pedestrian walkways and their version of the "high line" were being put in place. It was pretty easy to get around once I got out of the Bund tunnel drop off point and made it to the Pearl Tower.
It looked like the pedestrian walkway was being extended past the SWFC.
