  Another article that underscores the need for (and uses of) "cross-use" (as defined by Jane Jacobs). The interesting difference/ twist here is that cross-use is created/ nourished through congestion-cutting strategies and transit infrastructure, as well as (get this!) broadband infrastructure (!).
  
  So, interesting pointer: congestion as another barrier to cross-use. Something to think about.
  
  And: think about taking broadband/ digital infrastructure into account when thinking about cross-use vs single-use. How to map the virtual onto the real/ actual? Hmmm....
