Urban condition:

Large size and high density of population; Heterogeneity; Formality of relations; Social distance; Regimentation; Segmentation of personality… “Big crowds and busy streets do not always help to create a sense of connectedness; for many city residents, they actively contribute to feelings of alienation. Rapid urbanization is exacerbating this challenge as walkable spaces shrink, parking lots replace playgrounds, and high-rises eclipse neighborhoods—all of which make it increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy sense of community and belonging. New arrivals, especially immigrant populations who may not speak the language, can struggle to establish a sense of belonging amidst the crowd.”

Two interrelated challenges for housing:

Social isolation and environmental sustainability.

Aspects to consider:

Distribution of public and private spaces; Ventilation and lighting; Transportation and communication.
