If it falied, it's not supposed to be considered bad, just not perfect. But it was a great step into the real world where architects and urbanists are needed not only by middle-class well-educated families.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this intriguing example of alternative planning. So sad it didn’t get completed. Do you know of other examples of inclusive planning?
Alejandro Aravena's half houses seem like a similar idea in some ways. They were building social housing and they'd build the complicated bits of a house like the bathroom. But they'd leave the house unfinished. As the owners had money they could add more bedrooms and verandas etc.

Common sense is not so common. B.v. doshi's failed designs proved that.
