- Modern American towns and cities seem to only be designed around the use of automobiles. From the typical two-car garage facades in every suburban neighborhood, to the six-lane roads in our cities, there is little to no sense of human scale. American architects, designers, and city planners can look to Superilla as a great example in consideration of human scale in design – which results in promoting a healthy lifestyle and sense of community.
- Involuntary participation through data collection is arguably much more beneficial when considering the results and solutions to fixing design issues in our American towns and cities. Getting the natural behavior of everyday human activity in a specific area allows for architects to narrow down on identifying issues as well as resolving them.
