Elements of Urbanism: Chicago

[JeffreyS]

I think the urban feature that could speak to Jacksonville would be the transit stops outside of downtown.  Wicker Park (Damon Station) is like Five Points on steroids. You can ride those trains well outside of Downtown and there will be pedestrian scale vibrant urban neighborhoods around almost all of the stops.  The outlying areas without the stops while more dense than here resemble more typical American sprawl.   Simply exploring Chicago makes such a statement for fixed transit.
