I was also around University district yesterday and really took notice about the underground heated parking - there is also plenty of bike storage down there. Comparing the master plan with Greenwich I have to say that UD did it right by making sure there will be no surface parking lots. I’m...

"urban villages" - sure... who are we kidding. It's all car centric

Not very bike friendly either - you're basically forced to have a car to get anywhere (or a boat to get across this artificial pond 😑).

These streets were planted with poplars which grow very fast and have a broad canopy spread. They mature very fast compared to other trees because they are adapted to our climate. Sadly these trees are short lived and have heart rot early on leading to structural damage. Also the root damage on...

I believe you're right! I checked gravity architecture and they seem to focus on inner city filling also I'm glad to see it's not a rental build development..
