Problem
Public spaces are usually built for passing through or for commerce, not for spontaneous music and movement. So street life often stays flat, and people pass each other by without ever truly meeting.
Solution
Leave open room in public places for spontaneous music and dancing, so the street comes alive and people find one another through shared movement and celebration.
