69 Public Outdoor Room

May be part of Main Gateways (53), Accessible Green (60), Small Public Squares (61), Common Land (67), Pedestrian Street (100).

Conflict

There are very few spots along the streets of modern towns and neighbourhoods where people can hang out, comfortably, for hours at a time.

Resolution

In every neighbourhood and work community, make a piece of common land into an outdoor room- a partly enclosed place, with some roof, columns, without walls, and perhaps with a trellis; place it beside an important path and within view of many homes and workshops.

May contain Common Areas at the Heart (129), Seat Spots (241), Activity Pockets (124), Building Edge (160), Outdoor Room (163).
