Walk to
Quality
Changing preferences
are altering the way we
inhabit urban centers,
blurring the boundaries
between public and
private spaces.
PETER DAVID CAVALUZZI, FAIA
ExpErts say the real estate market
in our cities is responding to the
dramatic changes caused by COVID
with a " flight to quality. " This headline
suggests optimism that a safe
harbor still exists out there as does
the fear that we all need to act fast
and run (for our lives) before things
get bad. It reflects a winnowing to
the essential characteristics that can
ensure the best overall return and
insulate us from the changing winds
in the economy.
Cities around the world are struggling
to adapt and respond to these
rapidly changing preferences. We
are changing the way we inhabit our
urban centers. The reemergence of
walkable pedestrian districts shows
that when we design a quality public
realm that includes a wider array
of uses than in recent decades, we
create quality urban destinations that
are timeless and resilient.
Adaptive reuse of districts
One thing the pandemic has shown
is that the time and space we need
inside office buildings is shrinking.
We all want quality, choice, and convenience
in the places and spaces we
use in our daily lives. We are embracing
the freedom that technology has
enabled and, as a result, we want
more variety from the traditional
work environments.
City centers need to move away
from single-use districts and encourage
more variety. The design of
urban spaces must also evolve, and
the traditional boundaries between
public and private spaces need to
blur. We need spaces and places
we can easily access that provide
choices for our daily itinerary.
Residential conversions of empty
office buildings command an important
part of the reimagination, as do
other new uses, such as academic,
cultural, community, and entertainment
venues. These expanded programs
should be part of the vision
so urban districts can be alive at
all times of the day. Simply filling
our office buildings with amenities
and resources under one roof is not
