But nothing modern.<br /><br />You say that Seaside Florida became one of the first of many planned communities designed in the new urbanism mode, but I am not sure what that means and I don't know which seaside resort towns of the past it aspired to evoke.<br /><br />I love the cottages, the town's walkability and the pedestrian alleys. Only time will tell if the shops, restaurants, chuch, town hall and other communal facilities are well used.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-76739404182022721102012-03-02T23:38:41.025-05:002012-03-02T23:38:41.025-05:00Great post, and thanks for the first phase of your...Great post, and thanks for the first phase of your architectural tour of Seaside, a place I hope to visit one day.

The walkability is a very nice feature, which deserves to be imitated more widely. Unfortunately, this is a town strictly for the 1 percenters - the working class need not apply.Russ Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722260145543178087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-45507262645783292462012-03-02T13:05:22.921-05:002012-03-02T13:05:22.921-05:00What a great post, Stefan!

I LOVED rosemary's beach because it is more urban. It was built 10 years later though. Hope to get a post up about it next week. There was a new community just being built next door called Ally's beach which will blow rosemary's beach out of the water!ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-80364075287126604382012-03-02T12:44:50.008-05:002012-03-02T12:44:50.008-05:00Seaside and Rosemary Farm I believe are two of the...Seaside and Rosemary Farm I believe are two of the better new-urban planned communities of the era in this stretch of the Panhandle. Later planned towns around the country didnt really do this quite as well, but all have become extremely expensive to live in, not what the original intentions were, but still there are far more truly great things going on here than not.
