What is MOVEMENT?

A street is a movement conduit.

A street is also a place –

a destination in its own right

What is PLACE ?

... a safe place

for enjoyment & activity by people.

... but also a place of living and working ...

... and a place for greenery and biodiversity.

Movement = saving time.
