between the number of outdoor activities and frequency of
interactions. Need for creating PLACES

- An ordinary day on an ordinary street. Pedestrians pass on the
sidewalks, children play near front doors, people sit on benches
and steps, the postman makes his rounds with the mail, two
passers-by greet on the sidewalk, two mechanics repair a car,
groups engage in conversation. This mix of outdoor activities is
influenced by a number of conditions. Physical environment is one
of the factors: a factor that influences the activities to a
varying degree and in many different ways.

not necessarily depend on the built Environment

does depend on the built Environment
- Slide 38

Activity and hence is related to the built Environment
- Slide 39
- These modules can be replicated in Urban Design to enhance
spaces promoting Optional Activities and thereby creating better
PLACES
