Designing Connection: The Role of Public Spaces
This chapter discusses how the design of our built environment impacts social interactions and community engagement, particularly through accessible public spaces like parks. It highlights the 'Goldilocks' building concept and contrasts traditional urban designs with modern trends that prioritize density and isolation. By examining case studies and historical contexts, the chapter advocates for thoughtful urban design that fosters serendipity and encourages meaningful connections among diverse populations.
