Don’ts
Too many elevated highways for high speed uninterrupted transport makes it detached from the surrounding landscape. Creating blocks too big make walking uncomfortable.
Not including mixed use decreases walkability and diversity
Not creating pocket parks that also deals with storm water and flooding. Roads that cut through parks disrupts the space.
Disconnected large open green spaces can make it become desolate and prone to criminal activities.
Privatizing waterfront areas makes it less accessible to the public underutilizing precious public space
