Such inward focus for an urban shopping center was in vogue in the 1970s. Planners today labor to make sidewalks inviting with well-lit storefronts, outdoor cafes and greenery. But back then, many builders tried to create oases where people could escape from the noise, heat and perhaps danger found on the streets.

Do you find that to be the case with planning and development in the 50 years post the 1929 Stock Market Crash? Don't know how much it has to do with a more inward grounded perspective or modest property values or little wealth inequality or the rise of the auto and suburban sprawl all maybe contributing to grand urban projects and architectural statements being less economically viable or even feasible.
