Public space is the backbone of a sustainable city. Great streets, places where you intuitively want to stay longer, human-scale interaction between buildings and streets, ownership by users, placemaking, active ground floors and a people-centered approach based on the user's experience - that is what The City at Eye Level is all about. Some of the underlying mechanismes for human-scale public space and great social life in the streets are universal, such as the way we as human beings experience the space around us. Many other mechanisms, however, are local and contextual, such as the specific opportunities and challenges that the local climate brings; and for instance the specific local cultural perception of public space.
