Reading 1.2

  1. I think that having places like superilles is a great way not only to allow for more freedom for pedestrians, but also to create a space that can enhance social interaction and community.
  2. I like Jane Jacob’s four conditions of diversity and think that it is important how she specifies the need for diversity in both how the space will be used and who uses the space. 
  3. I think it was interesting how the data that was collected to look at how streets support the public looked at such a variety of attributes. Bike parking, sidewalk width, and sound pollution, were some of the things measured, but there were also things measured such as comfortability, the character of the space, and wifi access.
