The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces

Tan­til­is­ingly short excerpt from a doc­u­men­tary about human behav­ior within urban spaces.

But the most socia­ble plazas also have in absolute num­bers the great­est num­ber of indi­vid­u­als. A busy place, for some rea­son, seems to be the most con­ge­nial kind of place if you want to be alone.

I’d love to see the whole film. via kottke.org
