Problem

Someone who can never look out over their own town loses the feel for its shape and its edges. Without a place from which to take in the whole, one's own surroundings stay abstract and hard to grasp.

Solution

Make raised places from which people can look out over the town, so you come to understand where you live, letting these spots become cherished landmarks in their own right.
