Traditional urbanism means building on street level, right out into the street. No wastage! Can't get more bang for your rigsdaler. (Aarhus)pic.twitter.com/12SExe50Ss
Lower buildings and tight front streets means opportunity for small back gardens, inner yards: use for economic, gardening or recreation.pic.twitter.com/8kLhlGASxE
