It's "Canada Square", a new public space in the biggest city of a grand and beautiful country. Modeling our public squares, especially given how few there are, after the most humble villages is odd and inappropriate.
Monumental spaces inspire community on a national level. How glorious it would be if we could build spaces that would make all Canadians proud and bolster a collective identity, one that is explicit, rather than implicit, hidden in the proportions of a village, which at first glance seems insignificant. Few people will ever realize that kind of symbolism. It's just not enough to make an impact.
Well said!!
