A really nicely put together video!

Thanks for the vid info! Would it be possible for you to make a video on city block typology in places like Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels etc where the buildings are bang along the road/canal, butted to each other but have back areas/courtyards which are completely cut off fr the road affording much needed privacy. Thanks again!
