The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces
by William H. Whyte
On This Page
Description
A small group of observers, the "Street Life Project", sets out to study how people use the parks and plazas of the city. With the help of time-lapse filming they find that what makes a place work are the basics--a place to sit, for example, food, sun, a passing show.Tags

Fascinating, quick read on the ways that our built environment has a mediating effect on social engagements.
