Today, we are talking about the boulevards, compare boulevard in Moscow and Copenhagen. That's how it looks in Strogino



Please note - this is a new place, and they are seriously engaged. With the budgets clearly was all right, nobody plundered, and really tried to make a good place for a stroll. Look at the tiles on the lights, on the design of ventilation at the metro station - it is a special project, the work of people



What is the problem? Firstly, in size. It is huge. But the main - in a vacuum. It is empty, there absolutely nothing to do but to just walk back and forth.

Compare with a very similar Boulevard in Copenhagen. It is slightly smaller in width and next to it there is an underground station, but on the whole quite similar

Here is the beginning. Suffice it seems



Pass 20 meters - a basketball court with a bench



Go ahead - table tennis. Municipality long thought how to deal with graffiti on these tables, and came up with - took the most respected in the city of graffiti (or as we call it?) And asked him to paint tables. His job nobody touches



Go another 50 meters - now it looks so



More a little bit - a football field



A little further - a children's playground. Pay attention to the fence - sports fields surrounded by a high fence, but after that you can see inside, unlike our hockey boxes. This open-top basketball and football closed. Playground fenced exactly this fence, so that parents can sit on the bench and not be afraid that children will run out onto the road



Back in Moscow - the only variety in the Strogino Boulevard - Hall of Fame, which is absolutely not interested in anyone.



Go ahead of Copenhagen - the public BBQ. You can go out and fry something



A little further on, it is not on the same boulevard - built such a structure.



More farther - board on springs. Jump on them pretty cool, especially when several people



Soccer ball



Public hammock. More there is a shout from the cool place where you can put the iPhone. Includes music, put your iPhone in a shout and heard it louder



What is the feature - the vast expanses of the tiles are not interested in people. They can just go out there, well, sit on a bench a little bit.
And in order to carry out on the street for a longer time than just pass by, people need a reason. And often, people want to spend time outdoors, read, sit in an Internet chat or meet someone. But they can not do it in the empty space with benches.

Another thing to sit and watch the kids (or adults) to play football or basketball, or himself to something to play, or sit in a cafe. When there is a reason to be in a certain place, and there is something to do for people there to be much nicer.

And the question here is not the mentality of the people and not in the budget allocated for the organization of these territories, and in the planning of such sites and the understanding of how people behave in some cases.

When you have around the house no shops at all, or there right in front of the entrance, where all the cars go and go, you, of course, do not even think to sit there.

And if you shop like this, it is possible that the behavior will be different.

All.
