Consider passive or evaporative cooling systems at major gathering places.
Upgrade the walkway surface to reflect the character of the area with decorative paving. Decorative paving could be one element of a cohesive architectural theme. However, keep in mind that the surface should not be uncomfortably rough or bumpy (see Surface/Texture).
Establish a strong sense of entry and architectural cohesion to foster a sense of arrival and special attention to place for the visitor.
On longer storefronts, provide windows every 10 feet (3.2m) to help create a human scale.
Limit the length of individual storefronts to no greater than 60 feet (18.3m) to create human scale.
Provide signs with a cohesive architectural/cultural theme.
Support off-site parking by shuttle service.
Prohibit reflective glass next to public walkways to cut down on glare and heat.
For destination facilities, provide a unique theme or motif that unifies it and that is expressed in all enhancements.
