Cultures and climates differ all over the world, but people
are the same. They’ll gather in public if you give them a
good place to do it.

In a Society becoming steadily more privatized with


private homes, cars, computers, offices and shopping
centers, the public component of our lives is disappearing.
It is more and more important to make the cities inviting,
so we can meet our fellow citizens face to face and
experience directly through our senses. Public life in good
quality public spaces is an important part of a democratic
life and a full life.

First life, then spaces, then buildings - the other way


around never works. Jan Gehl
A good city is like a good party - people stay longer than
really necessary, because they are enjoying themselves,
