1) Whyte mainly talks about the aspects of the Main Street, whereas Gibbs discusses the design of cities as a whole. Whyte talks about how congested traffic downtown, helps the stores with more sells because it causes more people to look into the stores. Gibbs talks more about how the visual aspects of the main street help draw the customer's attention into buying products from the stores. I find Whyte more convincing because I believe in his idea of congested traffic to help improve sells.
2) I enjoy the urban setting where there are many people, but not too many as to where you cant move around freely. I feel there should be at least a good amount of people because it makes you feel like you picked the right place to be since there many people along with you.
