Urban designers in Salt Lake City praise innovations of the ‘Mormon Grid’

Salt Lake City's large grid has some potential benefits. I like the idea of a ring of buildings - high density, mixed-use, green development around the perimeter of the 10 acre blocks with a "block of agriculture" in the center. It is important to keep the buildings facing the street interesting and vibrant. Furthermore, the streets should not be so large as they are now (which is roughly 140 ft of Right-of-Way).
