| The center is the heart and soul of a neighborhood.
This image on the top left is from Rhode Island.
The center is immediately recognized. Public streets
and roadways connect to neighborhoods surrounding
it. The center holds the church. Oftentimes, a community
building or facility is found at the center. Higher
densities line and frame the public open space.
Mixed uses are also found at the center.
The image on the bottom right is Central Park
as seen from outer space. The astronauts can identify
Central Park. A well-designed center does not
need labeling and signage to tell people where
they are. People know that they are at the center.
