Permeability
S = D x P x Q
•S = Sociability, Sustainability, Success
•D = Density [measured simply as people per acre, but when
combined with ‘permeability’ reflects the number of people
within easy reach of any desired place or facility]
•P = Permeability [easy movement in all directions –
warming up the molecules. Not the same as connectivity]
•Q = Quality [design, mix and management]
