The totalizing mentality here hasn’t served urban spaces very well in the past. Urban renewal “could be implemented in other places in just about any context” too.

ALL walkable neighborhoods are built with the same spatial DNA. In fact “one-size fits all ” very much describes all walkable neighborhoods. Just go look. Don't look at the awnings or the colors or the pavement; look at the relationship of

• sidewalk
• street
It's basically all the same everywhere you'd want to walk with only very minor variations, all on the same theme.
