The porous Portland plan : for people, cars or the environment? / by Fanis Grammenos and Brian Eames.: NH21-10/2005E-PDF
"Since the theoretical dismissal of the last 50 years of suburban growth as “un-urban” or “anti-urban”, current discourse on community, town and city design emphasizes the importance of connectivity as a means for achieving several objectives. Connectivity may lead to more walking, which elevates physical activity levels; displaces car trips; supports the use of public transit; enhances socializing and, indirectly, reduces congestion and improves air quality. These arguably important goals can be achieved with a street pattern that exhibits a degree of interconnectedness or “porosity”"--p. [1].
