That soccer stadium site is in the Bronx, not Harlem.

I don't understand what the stadia have to do with housing styles. London's stadia appear very well-integrated with the urban fabric. The issue is more around the modern residentials, which don't have much of a local vernacular. You see new housing in say, Paris, or Mexico City, or Cape Town, and there's a local vernacular. But this stuff looks airlifted from some random Canadian suburb or Singapore new town. That isn't a bad thing, necessarily, but it pales in comparison to London's prewar built fabric, so it arguably jars the streetscape.
