Private Public Space

wycoffgardens.jpgBrooklyn Views discusses the trouble with interior public space and deems the Ratner/Laurie Olin plan for Atlantic Yards "anti-urban."

If the interior of the block is not well used for circulation, these walkways become empty and dangerous places.

On the other hand, if the project is “successful”, and the interior of the block is well used for circulation, these areas actively draw people off the surrounding streets, weakening the activity on them.
