Just a quick post to kick off the New Year


This model of ancient Rome is a perfect example of how a traditional city looks from above;

  • Maximum building coverage coupled w/ really narrow (i.e. people scaled) streets
  • Little to no pointless "green space," but plenty of interior courtyards and gardens
  • Numerous plazas, markets, and other public spaces
