While doing research for the end of the year project, I read that one of the benefits that comes with the proliferation of pubic transportation is that it promotes compact development. When cities’ populations are able to live comfortably in more condensed areas and less land is being used for roads, there is more space for things like pubic parks. I couldn’t help but to think about this while I was spending time at LES skatepark earlier in the week. This skatepark is located in downtown Manhattan and is actually right under the Manhattan Bridge.
