Porta's Eyes...Perfect Hight Street

GOOD HOOD
- Ideal world

Preface

Everyone loves an urban village but few cities know quite how to get the mix of retail, services and residents right. London recently decided to grass over Trafalgar Square temporarily to celebrate its urban villages while onlookers wondered what it had to do with their increasingly dull local high street. Monocle has taken inspiration from its favourite neighbourhoods to engineer the perfect precinct.
