Blocks that are smaller than about 60 meters in any one direction (about 200 feet), exclusive of the
Blocks that are too big create street networks that are unwalkable. But there is a practical limit to how small a block can be.
Therefore:
Lay out blocks so that their short sides are roughly 70 meters (230 feet) and no more than 90 meters or approximately 300 feet. Make their long sides no more than about 150 meters or 500 feet.
When … Within the network of Walkable Multi-Mobility (p. 38), there is a scale of block patterns that is most conducive to walking ...
Then Create a mix of Small Plot (p. 108) and a flexible condition for Evolving Plot Size, within regulated parameters. Place Perimeter Building (p. 116) at the edges of the blocks...
