chapter 9:

IN this chapter JACOBS argue about small blocks and how it is important with a lot of places where people can turn easier so they can reach the distinations that they need faster, so it is required for successful city planning . If not, the street is isolated. but with Long blocks there is no breaks in them. People are lost and helpless when they uses areas with long blocks and they get borred quickly. Short blocks give people more choices,it allow more people to mingling and communicat, and result in more diversity growth. Long blocks are somthing that separates the use of mixtures and diversity. People try to avoid areas that have long blocks. Long blocks is sometimes meaningless because the lack of the trust but short ones will help people to know each other.
