Fantastic architecture community site Archinect points us to this article from today's Daily Herald about anti-sprawl development in Grayslake. "Interspersed with about a dozen shops, the buildings will be grouped around an open area .... Energy-efficient and oversized by traditional condo standards, the allure is expected not only to be the space within, but that without — an open environment with trails and lakes in a protected natural habitat." Fantastic. Hopefully, this type of planning will continue to grow in popularity.
