CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUCCESSFUL PLACE

VARIED ACTIVITIES
Popular places generally have more things to do, but activities do not necessarily require special equipment or facilities.

DIFFERENT AGES
The presence of different ages usually means a place has different constituents at different times of day.

HIGHER PROPORTION OF WOMEN
Women tend to be more discriminating about the places they use. Types of seating and perception of safety are factors.

HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN GROUPS
When people go to a plaza in 2s or 3s, or when they rendezvous there, it is because they have selected the place in advance.

AFFECTION
There are generally more people smiling, kissing, embracing, holding and shaking hands.
