Old shopping centers like this exist in most of our suburbs.
Let's face it, people flock to the suburbs because they offer a house in the village. Unfortunately their is no center to most of these villages and that is the mission of Traditional Neighborhood Design. Here is a great idea! Take the tired old shopping centers that abound in our suburbs and create village centers like the one below proposed for Crozet. Residential and office space is created by adding upper stories to the existing retail spaces, creating a very nice mixed-use town center.
Here is the new village center which fits right in the footprint of the old strip center.
