Work Community

Opening context: Scattered Work, Subculture Boundary, Neighborhood Boundary, Activity Nodes

Conflict

If you spend eight hours of your day at work, and eight hours at home, there is no reason why your workplace should be any less of a community than your home.

Resolution

Build or encourage the formation of work communities — each one a collection of smaller clusters of workplaces which have their own courtyards, gathered round a larger common square or common courtyard which contains shops and lunch counters. The total work community should have no more than 10 or 20 workplaces in it.

Closing context:
Small Public Squares, Local Sports, Accessible Green, Self-Governing Workshops and Offices, Food Stands
