(Excerpt) “… as we moved into the suburbs in the post WWII era, we placed our offices into [single-use] ‘office parks’ in our campaign to separate the activities of our daily lives and reconnect them through compulsory car trips.
Fortunately, there’s a lot of documentation on why employers [now] want (or should want) to locate in walkable mixed-use centers … For the sake of this post, the revelation is this: The new workforce no longer wants to be located in single-use office ‘parks’… they want to be located in dynamic mixed-use urban settings where they can mix and mingle, have multiple destinations to eat lunch or have dinner, live nearby, and have the *choice* to access everything through a pleasant walk and maybe a convenient transit trip.”
