Pumpkins, Gourds, Bangladeshi-type gardens, Tree houses and urban planning in.... Denmark

Much is made of character - developments enrich or detract from it, etc. so I noticed this autumn....


Bangladeshi-type gardens at Stepney City Farm

Pumpkins and gourds grown over structures are a feature of Bangladeshi-type gardens found now in the East End of London (including a tiny patch outside of my block of flats) http://www.a3associates.com/allotment_photos.html ... They have become "characteristic" of the East End

The image below shows what a magnificent display many varieties of gourds and pumpkins can make when grown together. I look forward to more of this

Talking of verticality: this  picture below is purportedly a TREE HOUSE....

The world's largest tree house is located in Crossville, Tennessee, USA.
Built by Horace Burgess, a Landscape Architect.

....and contrasts with
Urban planning in Denmark
These Circles lie just below the O3 / 21 junction below, and contrast with the high-density housing and industrial estate north of the 21.

I am much reminded of Guy Debord's map of Paris torn along the lines of Boulevards - 
Guy Debord 1957: Psychogeographic guide of Paris
and neighbourhoods, good.... and bad?
