When I walk through old European cities, the density and human scale of those buildings feel vastly different from the sprawling modern suburbs I grew up in. I've been thinking about how architecture shapes our daily habits and social connections. Could the layout of a city, with its narrow streets and shared courtyards, actually make people more neighborly and content compared to today's car‑dependent designs? I'm not sure if we can just copy the past, but I wonder if we've lost something essential in how we build now.
