Is the title of a Boston Globe article about the redevelopment of the Natick Mall, into more of a more mixed use center. (Note to Washington: think of this when planning to redevelop the Skyland Center, and the opportunities presented by low-scale single use places such as Hechinger Mall, the Brentwood Shopping Center, and the H Street Connection.)

Construction at the Natick Mall includes plans for 220 condos, a fitness center, bike trails, a rooftop garden, and a walking path connecting to an adjacent shopping center. Photo by Bill Polo/Boston Globe.
