Ask: why some neighbourhoods feel more lively/alive than the others
Long time back I had seen a lecture video (black and white on youtube, don't remember exactly but was pretty lengthy) about why some neighbourhoods feels more lively/alive than the other, I am not able to find that anymore.
By any chance anyone here is aware of what i am referring to, it'll be great if can provide me any additional detail that'll help me find that masterpiece. Unfortunately I haven't seen the video but it sounds interesting. Last night I was reading a Brazilian article, based on a study, about how (what the author called) "centrality" plays a large part in the success of a neighborhood. "The concept applies to places with high concentration of economic activity, intense circulation of people and a large diversity of services." In short, it seems living where you work makes for a nice neighborhood. Perhaps a video version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_and_Life_of_Great_Am...? Good book.
