Following our ancestoral roots of being social bees the design endorses interaction among people. These streets had a impact on the social well-being of the community as its holds some potential advantages in terms of public space, community activities, pedestrian mobility, but they do have the risk of increased circulation spaces and lesser usable spaces.
