Density illustrated
The South Oxford Street Block Association just posted this graphic to illustrate the comparison between the population density proposed for Atlantic Yards and the population density of one of the largest superblock developments in NYC.
NoLandGrab: Keep in mind a point made a while ago by Brooklyn Views — the arena itself has a large footprint, which means the "FAR (floor area ratio) on the remaining site is significantly greater."
This same point applies to population density, since no one will LIVE in the arena. In other words, if you discount the arena, the density of the remainder of the site is even higher.
