Patrick, I'm curious what case the central story is about. Not the success story in Osaka, but the one in which so many people were crying about a tree that was evidently felled for a mall.
Hi Greg! Good question. I would say that part of the story represents almost every other case of development, haha. In other words, not based on one specific case but represents what is a standard practice today of discarding what is in a place when planning a development. The tears are mine, from seeing it over and over.
On the positive side, one of the topics I'd like to touch on more, is how all development used to respect and work with the landscape by default, and what a difference it makes when we do.
Thanks very much for the reply, Patrick. Yes, I am definitely familiar with the usual process. It's something I care about a lot. I've been working on a film script for a number of years that deals with precisely this issue. I'm glad to have found your column recently.
Thank you, Greg. I am always thankful to know someone else who cares a lot about this kind of thing, and glad to know that you're working on telling that story through film.
Got a few things brewing on this topic here, so keep an eye out I guess.
