Dancing in the Street

Opening context:
Magic of the City, Promenade, Night Life, Carnival, Small Public Squares

Conflict

Why is it that people don’t dance in the streets today?

Resolution

Along promenades, in squares and evening centers, make a slightly raised platform to form a bandstand, where street musicians and local bands can play. Cover it, and perhaps build in at ground level tiny stalls for refreshment. Surround the bandstand with paved surface for dancing — no admission charge.

Closing context:
Activity Pockets, Public Outdoor Room, Food Stands, Canvas Roofs
