Urban Fabric: Density and Human Scale

How can urban density be managed without losing human scale? On walkable neighborhoods.

Urban density is not a goal in itself; what matters is that density remains livable at the human scale.

Walkable neighborhoods are fabrics where daily needs are met within short distances and streets become the stage of social life.

The balance between building heights, street widths and public spaces determines the quality of this fabric.
