'D1ere is a distanoe of ~tely ooe mile or twenty minute walk which is a anvenient measure of urban density for centers, 'D1ere wculd be three UAlI~....::uls: 1) gateway center featuring office, hic1 density residential am civic facilities; 2) a retail center which is ~iIID oriented; 3) a grand boulevard. As redeve~l.ent occurs, there wculd be less setback, a sidewalk line and in time, p!Irldng wculd be placed Œl the side or to the b8ck of J::uildings.
