And while it may suggest the success of certain circulation patterns over others, it is but one piece of a much bigger and more complex picture.

Are other types of connective paths more appropriate and successful in creating urbanity?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Without making specific comments on the samples themselves, I would suggest that this is too often the way the city is described \u2014 a shallow analysis of something much deeper. Using only roads gives the impression of a high level of connectedness in each sample space, but the situation on the ground is often much different.\u00a0How different would each sample space appear if represented with other spatial and social elements, relationships, phenomena? Knowing that most maps show only a fraction of the conditions present in the space, what are the most important layers when discussing the future of the city? In an urban context, is the road network still the best base layer from which to identify and project the future form on the city? If not roads, what \u00a0other\u00a0basic\u00a0identifying or vital\u00a0elements would you use to facilitate\u00a0a conversation about the present condition and future potential of Halifax?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The [Re]Presenting Halifax series revisits historical and contemporary maps, diagrams and other interpretive readings of the Halifax region.
