I agree with the notion of intensification of towns and cites rather than encroaching on green land. The question raised of how is indeed valid. The adaptive re-use or design for addition notions of last weeks readings helps link a solution I believe although with established towns and cites that did not design with this in mind makes it not so easy to do.
The idea generated by the reading (see below) looks to work however architecturally the lower density spaces in the centre (I have highlighted with the red circle) may receive some negative issues. Lack of natural lighting and ventillation would occur and cause a problem to both the physical and mental well being of the inhabitants.
Transport of these new areas were raised in the reading as an issue. This seems to be a recurring theme and definitely something I will be looking at for the assignment.
