Yep.
Urban Design 101 right there. Sadly and frustratingly this has still yet to become the norm in new subdivisions within Canada. As we begin to pay more attention to the benefits of urban design I think this will become standard but as of now it's still rare.

I think this is a step in the right direction but Harbour Landing still lacks in other aspects (walkability, mix of uses, density, built form of our commercial lands).
