I know its preliminary, but can someone explain this fad in landscape architecture around here to make place with a frying pan of open concrete? I will never really understand these spaces that are simultaneously too filled to be an open multi-use square but also so stark and devoid of shade and greenery to be unwelcoming to pedestrians or anyone wanting some fresh air.

Is it just that they are cheap and easy to clear of snow or is there some design principle / fad I'm missing out on?
