i think that it’s important to reserve enough space to streets. not to build lanes, but to build cafes and seating banks and trees there. it’s a typical problem of cities that they figure out that there’s not enough space to build trees, bike lanes, etc. after the houses are built. better reserve space first.

this isn’t really a showerthought but more of a general opinion, but i’ll post it here anyways because i don’t know where else to post it. (pls tell me if there’s a better community to post it to instead)

    This is mostly true for cities that are old enough to predate city planning though.

    Trees are not generally built as much as grown.
