  "The context that they're speaking in is limited to comparing one form of sprawl to another kind of sprawl, from a poorly designed sprawl to a better designed sprawl," said Tony Abbate, an architecture professor at Florida Atlantic University who helps organize an annual conference on design in South Florida.
  
  Abbate believes car-clogged suburbs reduce life to one act of consumption after another.He compares choosing a suburban home model within the ubiquitous "Mediterranean-themes" of the newest developments to picking up an order at a fast-food drive-through.
  
  "You're going to get it and it's going to be good and it's going to be worth the money.But if you really start to look at the ingredients, you're going to think, "What am I eating?' " he said.

  I wonder if we have any similar design rules under way here in Dade &/or what we can learn from Professor Abbate and his team in Broward?And perhaps we could invite Professor Abbate along to address our group about how urban redesign can foster mass transit usage?
  ...
  An acre in East Broward can go for $1 million, said Anthony Abbate, assistant professor of architecture at Florida Atlantic University. [DWV: see: http://www.fau.edu/divdept/caupa/arch/public/faculty/aabbate.html ] The same acre might cost 20 to 30 percent less in some western suburbs.
  ...
  But even much of the new East Broward retail still looks suburban, said Abbate, who is advising the county on redevelopment.
  
  "Our centers are still suburban in character because they rely on cars," he said."To go from one store to the next, even if they are just a few feet apart, you have to drive."
  
  Abbate is part of a Broward County team that is working on a design guide for urban redevelopment.Alternatives to the automobile will be a part of this initiative, he said.
  
  "We are never going to be a Manhattan," Abbate said, "but we need to create an in-between model."

  Presentation by Anthony Abbate, AIA
  ...
  Architect Anthony Abbate stated that this was a County initiative, and an interesting one.
  ...
  Mr. Abbate explained the concept behind the Guidebook.He noted that there are five systems of design: architecture, graphics, landscape, transportation, and urban and he
  
  described each in detail.He noted that the sense of place with Coconut Creek emerges from the landscaping and the beauty of the waterways.According to Mr. Abbate, the first recommendation would be to support the concepts in the Educational Corridor Study.One of the concepts is the transportation framework with pedestrian, transit, and vehicular access.He noted the three ways to address this concept and spoke regarding another concept, which is the coordination of the lighting, pavement, signage, and furnishings for pedestrians.Mr. Abbate also spoke regarding a layered mixed use zoning with the most valuable being at ground level.
  
  Using a Power Point presentation, Mr. Abbate displayed graphics showing several different concepts to create a sense of place.He stated that one main issue was signage and he pointed out that some signage that will be necessary might not be permitted currently.
  ...
  Mr. Abbate added that the first step would be to examine the building types already codified in the building code and determine if it can be expanded to include new building types.
  ...
  As to immediate action by the Commission, Ms. Rose felt that Mr. Abbate was looking for consensus that the Guidebook is on the right course and the City would adopt this concept.
