A lot of people (in this thread and elsewhere) try to defend corbu as a visionary whose ideas were ruined by cheap construction of whatever, but it’s simply not the case. Humans need nature and green space, that’s an easy thing to agree with. But putting small amounts of green space in between everything (rather than centralizing it) is an awful idea. Not only does it make everyone travel (probably drive) past the green space to get anywhere, it makes the green space worse by making it a pseudo space where it’s not nature (you still see buildings), but it’s also not useful civic space for the city. He made cool buildings and his are some of the few brutalist buildings people think look cool, but he was just dead wrong on urban design.
