1. The nexus of contact is between people, --and not vehicles
2. Social space is implicitly democratic, a social leveler.
3. It is free, near-by, open and accessible to all4. It works on eye contact, which carries many behavioral implications
5. In social spaces we learn to slow down - The hard edge of urgency and
the need for immediate gratification is palliated, disappears
6. And with it the potential, implicit violence, danger level is reduced.
