Context The Distribution of Towns2
Problem
When building spreads out flatly and without limit, open land vanishes behind endless suburban edges. Anyone living deep inside the city has no way to reach fields, woods, or open nature without a long drive.
Solution
Let development and open land grow like the interlocking fingers of two hands, so that green fingers of countryside reach deep into the built area and no one lives more than a few minutes from a field or a wood.
