The so-called "New Urbanism" is a day late and dollar short. The only thing new coming out of this culture of self-reflection and regard is denial. I used to live near 5th Ave. in NYC and really never spent anytime there. I considered the Village a relief from the monotomy of the midtown car culture. I had no idea that 5th Ave. looked like that. It would have depressed me even more.
  1. These are images of Park Ave. not Fifth Ave.

  2. The images and accompanying text have nothing to do with "new urbanism."

  3. How do you figure this posting reflects a "culture of self-reflection?"

If it's too late to make any changes in the way we design and organize our cities then what's your suggestion?
