I really hope all that space in front towards the streets is a unique outdoor space and not just concrete slabs. There need to be more greenery instead of the treats planted to line the streets. 

One thing I wish was planted more often in urban environments is Chinese Wisteria. So long as it's surrounded by sidewalks and streets its penchant for being out-of-control is eliminated (nowhere to spread), and not only are the flowers in Spring absolutely gorgeous AND fragrant, but the leafing habit is handsome in its own right the rest of the growing season.

The only big drawback in my eyes is the tenderness of the flower buds when young. One good frost will often knock down the blooms in Gaston county and other points west or north of the city.

I agree.  Wisteria are really beautiful.
