Problem
Vast parking lots wreck the land for people.

Place entrances and exits of the parking lots in such a way that they fit naturally into the pattern of pedestrian movement and lead directly, without confusion, to the major entrances to individual buildings - Circulation Realms (98). Shield even these quite modest parking lots with garden walls, and trees, and fences, so that they help to generate the space around them - Positive Outdoor Space (106), Tree Places (171), Garden Wall (173)] …
