#GoodUrbanism in #Haarlem, #Holland. This is the Grote Houtstraat, a busy (but lush, friendly, interesting, charming) street made for people flanked by two or three story homes, shops, offices...
...but slip through one of the portals and you find yourself transported to another world: quiet, relaxed, safe, even lusher, private courtyards. Less than a second stroll away from a busy commercial high street. This is an example of absolute #MasterClassUrbanism. #Proveniershof
The courtyard and its houses as we know them today are mostly from 1681, built as cheaper housing for less well off (but not completely destitute widowers and older men).
"Affordable housing", in other words.
