Compact, Unintended, Bad Urbanism
High densities of the old medieval and industrial cities, up to 200 persons per hectare, are reborn in the new urban reality of in the 20th and 21st century.
The 8-storey buildigs are equiped with contemporary heating and plumbing but lack two essenial elements of good living, sunlight and views.
They also impose limits on privacy; the expensive, large awinings on the balconies are ironic; they protect privacy by further limiting views and light.
Living on lower floors would be an unpleasant and unhealthy experience.
