I don't understand why we seek to redefine urban or residential space. We should plan spaces that have succeeded in the past, where people want to live. We can simply look at where the highest property values and community vibrancy? This does not happen at Eglington and East Mall. So why do we still seem to cling to these outdated design principles. Unfortunately planning (and developers) have an antiquated design standard for the past 50 years. These two images show the comparison of older planning as compared to post war planning. Is modern planning beneficial to urban development?
I'm not convinced.
