Abstract:
The transformation of Raleigh from a small, compact city to a sprawling metropolis characterized by regional development, regional shopping malls and office complexes occurred during a relatively brief period in the last quarter of the 20th century. Now, in the early years of the 21st century, two Raleigh-based developers are working to internalize that pattern by creating places that reclaim a sense of intimate scale. These places would integrate work space and living space, as well as provide an opportunity for people to park their cars and stroll comfortably and safely to dozens of retail, dining, and entertainment choices.
