    it would become “an urban agora”, a greener, calmer meeting place, nothing less

    Ah okay, so concrete everywhere it is, then!

    Why even use concrete for walk ways? It looks god awful, cracks and breaks within months, repairs are always ugly as fuck, it is a horrible material for that. At least use street stones or tiles, you can make awesome designs with it. It looks amazing, it doesn’t crack, only maybe moves a little. If that happens, its easily repaired, just take out the stones, straighten the sand foundation, put the stones back.

    Even if you need stones for people in stilleto shoes, you can pack them close enough tohryhet or use bigger tiles

    And then for the architects under us: USE TREES, USE PLANTS, USE GREEN.
