"Problem:
People will not feel comfortable in their houses unless a group of houses forms a cluster, with the #publicland between them jointly owned by all the householders.
Solution:
Arrange #houses to form very rough, but identifiable clusters of 8 to 12 #households around some common land and paths. Arrange the clusters so that anyone can walk through them, without feeling like a trespasser." Christopher Alexander, A Pattern Language #patternlanguage #christopheralexander
