A 20 minute video that goes in depth into the topic of suburban office parks
The part where he talks about making offices suck less really blew my mind. A major issue with suburban office parks is that they are in the middle of nowhere. It is highly inconvenient to get something to eat, to go to the gym, etc... Some companies have reacted to this problem by bringing food and recreation into their office parks, but not all companies can afford to individually provide their own amenities. For them, it is better to cluster their offices into a common neighborhood where restaurants, gyms, and other things can cluster into: a business district.
Is this just rediscovering "death and life of great America cities", Jane Jacobs, 1961?
