Sidewalk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are several different
patterns and color schemes. Every sidewalk is a work of art.
Lightly used unfininished street not up city standards enables
far more greenery
Alley provides access but leaves more space for housing.
Big tree could not exist if street were built to former city standards
Unneeded street turned into grass.
Local street blocked off from collector street.
Neighborhood intersection turned into neighborhood public square. Traffic
could easily be permanently banned since it is a strictly local service
street. This could only happen easily with neighborhood government. Excessive
space in urban America is devoted to streets, almost nothing, outside of
parks, to public spaces.
