I wonder how many Barcelona sized blocks could fit? That way, you could still have a safeway under one block, a food hall under another, etc, etc.I'll call this one 'Imagine North Hill' There'd be less parking lot, but the gist would be some towers on the east end of the parcel.

I think Montreal would be where to look. Vancouver and Toronto accomplished this by making most other development sites or typologies impossible to build.But it is solvable - Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal have extensive redevelopment at scale on formerly heavy industrial sites, many sites must have been far more contaminated and complex than anything we have. Just needs the right combo of market pressure and a willingness to solve some of these sticky/silly issues.
