Francisville face-off on urban design
If the architecture in the Sherman-Hankin design is too bland and oblivious to sustainability, it's also true that the Onion Flats approach isn't dense enough. Francisville needs pedestrian continuity that comes from lining the block with housing. (italics added)Inga Saffron buries (what to me is) the punch line in the penultimate paragraph. But it is a pregnant assessment, somewhat out of the blue in the context of the column โ and I'd like to know more of her thinking.
