The master plan will not create the urban condition they are presenting in the renderings. It will be smart park 2.0. Island buildings with big spaces in between. Not walkable at all.

So why does it have to be that way? What are the practical reasons pushing the U of M to repeat a textbook example of how not to do a greenfield development that is sitting right at the other end of their campus?
I don't get the reason behind this sense of inevitability, as though Smartpark was the only conceivable development model the U of M could possibly follow.
