While I agree, mind you that some of those parks are just temporary as in the coming years, more buildings will come. Not to mention, the area behind and next to Sheridan will be more additions to the college.
There's way too much parkland in the area. On the district map legend, there are two more future parks planned. It looks like MCC is going for the "tower in the park" look after all.
It would be cool to see a core urban area surrounded by a ring of parks and gardens like Planty, around Krakow's old city. That ring also links various important institutions and tourist attractions. Somewhat similar was the original grid plan for Toronto in the late 18th century that was replaced by a simpler grid that we see today. Gother Mann's plan (Unbuilt Toronto, p. 16) shows a grid of streets surrounded by a ring of "common space" and then a wider-spaced grid presumably for more rural estates, but with the possibility of subdivision for urban expansion. Interestingly, all the most important public institutions were to be located on a perfectly central public square, with four additional squares in the initial one square mile townsite. Too bad it wasn't built that way, but since we continue to urbanize today, it's good to know about the various alternative schemes for urban plans for opportunities do arise to do things a little differently.

Ugh. Kids riding bikes in it? So stupid.
I always thought the water feature will be a fountain of some sort. Is this it? LOL
