Also, Play does not always mean recreation; sometimes it can mean wonder and engagement.

The focus on designing in this mode goes a long way towards creating spaces of inclusion and enjoyment.

Our streets, for example, are one of our primary public spaces. How might they be more accessible for youths? Not by banning their use for recreation; but, by encouraging their use as a statement that streets can be shared spaces.

A nodal pattern, while valid, does not necessarily need to replace the main street. I don’t see, and this could be me, how it reflects shopping patterns of today any better. Hone down the length of Main Street. Develop 4 corners or linear. Two blocks is the sweet spot for towns/neighborhood retail.

And the pricing affects individual upward mobility and the ability to open up existing homes to the market.

Bring it on! Looking forward to it!
