A city at eye level

A street is a place where life happens in many different ways. Amid cars, trees, public and private buildings, people can walk, meet, stay and respond to the distinct sensory perceptions provided by the urban environment. 

It shelters different kinds of individuals, transforming the city into a living and active environment, that, sometimes, when occupied only by cars loses its sense of a life at eye level. 

More than a means of transport and a place of stay, the street can also be a roof and shelter altering the dimensions and perceptions of the space, giving it a new meaning beyond a simple place for walking. It can improve and emphasize the city's lifestyle.

When occupied by people and used in different activities, it gains communication power between the city and the individuals, making the relations more personal, different from when the street is made for and occupied by cars.  

Therefore, even in streets where the scale might look tight for cars, to people, this can be essential for a living city by eye level.
