19 Place Value wiki evidence 1 - Connecting and strengthening communities Encourage human interaction through careful design of open space, neighbourhood streets and buildings

20 Place Value wiki evidence 1 - Connecting and strengthening communities Encourage human interaction Clapham Old Town

21 Place Value wiki evidence 1 - Connecting and strengthening communities if a place is perceived to be unsafe, it will have little chance of success in connecting people and creating communities.

22 Place Value wiki evidence 1 - Connecting and strengthening communities perceptions of neighbourhood characteristics are just as instrumental in shaping behaviour as any objective measure of built form

23 Place Value wiki evidence 1 - Connecting and strengthening communities perceptions of neighbourhood characteristics are just as instrumental in shaping behaviour as any objective measure of built form

24 Place Value wiki evidence 2 - Sociability of the street interface plot size, mix of uses & building typologies Waltham Forest Mini Holland - East Ave, Orford Rd

25 Place Value wiki evidence 2 - Sociability of the street interface Consider plot size, mix of uses & building typologies Clapham Old Town

27 Place Value wiki evidence 4 - Emotional responses to the build environment Overwhelmingly positive feelings were associated with spaces or scenes in which the natural world was present in some form

28 Place Value wiki evidence 4 - Emotional responses to the build environment Areas that are verdant and cared for, offer natural views and show signs of children s play received the most positive ratings

29 Place Value wiki evidence 4 - Emotional responses to the build environment Areas featuring buildings perceived to be ugly or that are otherwise dirty, unkempt, uncared for, neglected, or abandoned received the most negative ratings
