We are pushing many buildings and redevelopments far back from the street and creating many setbacks. Although this is needed in many places, as we try to create a walking friendly city, the human scale is getting lost. Whole block projects tend to be monoliths that are removed from the street, and it leaves the project disconnected. We need to work to enlarge the overhangs, encourage streetside development such as patios, and create projected that add to the the energy and experience of walking around our city if we are to succeed.
