Complete planning failure!
- StudentStuff 9y agoPlus its waaay too walkable! 60% of each lot should be disposed of with parking, plus a few percent on grass that the city will fine you for not watering. Shibam is a total urban planning fail!
- tonmoy 9y agoWhat does “seback” mean? I couldn’t find anything in 30 seconds of googling
- josephpmay 9y agoThe idea that the entire building isn't built directly on the street/sidewalk. For example, many cities have rules that the first few floors can be built to the lot line, but then anything taller needs to be "set back" a number of feet. In theory, this should allow for more light to reach the street, but it often results in buildings that look like wedding cakes and waste a huge amount of space.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoSetback is how far the building has to be set back from the road.
