The taller the building, the wider the street, the less chance there is of a community forming. Alienation, loss of purpose, misery, follows. If we want cities that gives humans a chance, we need to build for the #HumanScale: low buildings, streets for pedestrians. #Beijing 
Cities built to the #HumanScale naturally attracts tourists. No matter how messy they look. Clothes hanging out to dry is an indicator of a healthy neighborhood: the street belongs to the people living there. #Hanoi
Streets can be #HumanScaled and beautiful and necessary, but they are still a bit like "corridors". The best "streets" are the ones that double as places: squares, markets, nooks to rest and hang out. To meet friends and gawk at strangers. #Prague
Just like trains used to have first, second and third classes, to fit different needs and different priorities on the same service so cities built to the #HumanScale can have "third class" streets to allow for different needs. Not all shops want to be on the high street! #Bologna
