chapter 3

In this chapter the outher was talking about the city sidewalks and how important it is for the neighborhoods and how it affect people lives. Sidewalks is a public place where people can meet and communicat, it bring together people who don't know each other in order to make a social life of city sidewalks, especially when there are stores, bars, cafes and restaurants ect....
JACOBS also talked about the absence of trust of city street which considered to be abig problem for city streets without sidewalk public safty. trust is important element to make a successful social life.The outher came with a good example that can make people more close to each other (togetherness) which is an old ideal od planning thory, it can make agood relationship with other people but city people is missing togetherness because city planners don't know the basic needs of neighborhoods and no one of the city people want to sheare his privacy and make relationship with other people.
