Mosaic of Subcultures

Opening context:
City Country Fingers

Conflict

The homogeneous and undifferentiated character of modern cities kills all variety of life styles and arrests the growth of individual character.

Resolution

Do everything possible to enrich the cultures and subcultures of the city, by breaking the city, as far as possible, into a vast mosaic of small and different subcultures, each with its own spacial territory, and each with the power to create its own distinct life style. Make sure that the subcultures are small enough, so that each person has access to the full variety of life styles in the subcultures near his own.

Closing context: Community of 7000, Identifiable Neighborhood, House Cluster, Subculture Boundary
