Indeed, density and open space are two sides of the same coin. As urban designer and walkability advocate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juliecampoli.com\/\">Julie Campoli<\/a> states in her book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lincolninst.edu\/publications\/books\/made-walking\">Made for Walking<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The structural elements illustrated throughout Made for Walking \u2013 streets, blocks, sidewalks, and connected open spaces together with the intricate mixing of uses \u2013 make walking and biking convenient and enable mobility with a vastly reduced carbon impact. These qualities, combined with a comfortable streetscape, create the type of pedestrian-oriented environment that lures people out of their cars. A few other physical qualities may not contribute directly to lowering a place\u2019s carbon footprint but are also essential ingredients in a successful urban neighborhood. These elements, which can be designed in a place to add value, include the things all of us need in varying degrees \u2013 greenery, privacy, variety, and a sense of spaciousness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To this end, we are happy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patronicity.com\/project\/healy_field_community_garden#!\/\">support the Healy Field Community Garden<\/a> effort. After several years of outreach and dozens of meetings, the <a href=\"http:\/\/friendsofhealyfield.weebly.com\/\">Friends of Healy Field<\/a> are poised to create a garden space for children and adults, including a gathering space for community-wide events. The friends have gotten support from Healy Field abutters and neighbors, over 500 Roslindale petitioners, 60+ participants in the community design process, <a href=\"http:\/\/friendsofhealyfield.weebly.com\/\">Boston\u2019s Parks Department<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston.gov\/departments\/mayors-office\">Boston\u2019s Mayor Walsh<\/a>.
