    He’s right about everything. But there is more to it than he explains.

    Both kinds of business park and everything in between, exist in western Europe. It just depends how much money they wanted to spend building it. You can find this kind of place in developed countries like NL much more easily than impoverished ones like USA, just because the bad kind is so cheap to build.

    Those modern business parks are still terrible. They are beautiful, but empty, dead places. A choice to commute by bike, car or metro is good - but you also need the choice to live near your work and not commute at all. So developments must include housing and amenities as well as offices. A liveable, vibrant place is always mixed use.
