Conflict

Any part of a town- large or small- which is to be identified by its inhabitants as a precinct of some kind, will be reinforced, helped in its distinctness, marked, and made more vivid, if the paths which enter it are marked by gateways where they cross the boundary.

Resolution

Mark every boundary in the city which has important human meaning- the boundary of a building cluster, a neighbourhood, a precinct- by gateways where the major entering paths cross the boundary.

May contain Main Entrance (110), Entrance Transition (112), Circulation Realms (98).
