I love videos like this one. It’s so interesting to find little nuggets like this video on the Internet. This video talks about “placemaking” in the South Lake Union area of Seattle. This is the neighbourhood in which Amazon’s headquarters are now located. It’s urban and just on the northern edge of the Seattle’s downtown. The video also includes James Howard Kunstler, whose hyperbole about poor building design describes people wanting to “run shrieking from the street” is my favourite line in the video.
