Public Space Used as Intended
Public space reveals city quality through everyday use.
When people sit, pause, talk, and linger naturally, it indicates that the city has achieved balance between movement and comfort, efficiency and social life.
One of the clearest signs of a functioning city is not speed, but whether people feel comfortable enough to stay.

What Public Space Use Signals
People do not linger in uncomfortable places. They remain only where the city provides safety, shade, lighting, walkability, and a calm street rhythm.
Public space is not a decorative layer. It is a system outcome. When it functions well, the city becomes socially active without being staged or programmed.
