In any case, we chose the images not to target LA. Certainly the Long Island Expressway could've been used to depict the same traffic as I-5 — and Owen would see both roads as part of the problem. But isn't the 3rd Street Promenade still mostly an exception to the LA rule?

More generally, I wonder: wouldn't a less 'stereotypical' selection — one that ran counter to Owen's thesis — have confused matters? ]]> Nancy Levinson http://places.designobserver.com/feature/green-metropolis-new-york-david-owen/13368/#comments 2010-05-11T23:08:17-05:00 James http://places.designobserver.com/feature/green-metropolis-new-york-david-owen/13368/#comments 2010-05-11T02:51:36-05:00
