Research - A 'Good' Public space

The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces

In 1980, William Whyte published the finding from his project that analysis what makes a urban space 'attracting'.

7 Points of a great plaza:

• Stable space (Occupiable space)
• Street (Visual connection)
• Sun
• Food
• Water
• Trees (Natural enviroment)
• Trianglar Action

And i find my site have a great potential because of the opportunity the site provides, which already met half of the point stated by William Whyte.
