From Local Life to Global Pattern
Urban life often feels local, shaped by familiar streets, habits, and routines.
When similar scenes appear across different cities, cultures, and scales, they provide comparative evidence of how cities tend to function.
This is not forecasting. It is comparison — placing everyday moments side by side until underlying systems become visible.

How a City Becomes Comparable
Cities become comparable when similar types of moments are observed: crossings, queues, pauses, deliveries, and coexistence.
When local behavior repeats across locations, it shifts from individual preference to a recognizable signal, pointing toward shared structural conditions beneath daily life.

Why Local-to-Global Matters
Everyday Streets Reflect System Conditions
A reliable way to understand city quality is to observe what happens on an ordinary street during an ordinary moment.
Patterns Can Emerge Without Coordination
Shared street behaviors may appear across cities independently, shaped by comparable constraints and needs.
Understanding Supports Dialogue
Observing patterns helps cities develop shared understanding without promoting specific solutions or ideologies.
