Synopsis No.1

The document summarizes Jan Gehl's 1971 theory "Life Between Buildings" which addresses how important social contact is through public spaces. The theory proposes that urban public spaces should be designed with people as the guiding principle in order to facilitate social interaction between buildings. It justifies selecting an image that illustrates ample space for a variety of activities between buildings as a key way to achieve the social contact emphasized in Gehl's theory.
