"We aim to facilitate spaces and a spatial network that stimulate social interaction and community inventiveness. Rather than destroying areas and introducing large interventions, it reinterprets existing built density, enabling pedestrian infrastructure to overcome spatial barriers. We hope to inspire urban planning to think beyond administrative and car-traffic borders, prioritizing connected social spaces as drivers of neighborhood transformation."
