Figure 36: Step 4. The pedestrian spine now has, as its most important latent centers, the areas on either side of it. To

place 200 dwellings in this limited area, and to do it in such a way that people have their own gardens that their neighbors can also enjoy, leads to houses laid in strips around squarish open spaces. The gardens should, typically, have a diameter on the order of 50 to 120 feet; the buildings in strips should have a depth of some 20-25 feet; the building height would then be 2 and 3 stories. (The squares in the diagram are the gardens, not the buildings.)
