Great perspective on the “crane demonstration” happening Friday AM at the Brodie Oaks Shopping Center:
I think this is particularly relevant:
But here’s the thing — the Brodie Oaks shopping center as it looks now with its oceans of parking is almost entirely paved, with the center’s current impervious cover at approximately 84 percent. The redevelopment of the property under the planned unit development now in progress would reduce that number to around 54 percent, with nearly 14 acres of open space in the finished project. This is accomplished through density, by building up instead of out, and it’s fantastic for the environment compared with the current sprawled-out state of the shopping center.
