It's the same with Oklahoma City. On the fringe of downtown there is a lot of room for infill, which is a nice way of saying there are a lot of grass lots from torn down buildings.
One good thing about our urban revival is that we do kind of have nodes of density/urbanity to work with and connect that are scattered throughout the north side of the city. I was going to explain in more detail these "nodes" and how they are developing, but suffice to say that they are generally developing in a manner that is denser and more mixed-use than traditional OKC.
Also, at 7 PM today we will know if voters have approved a 6 mile modern streetcar system to link and encourage transit-oriented growth in these urban nodes!!
