From the observations, we learned that there are varying levels of commonality that are dependent on the situation that people are in. It is evident that different subjects have different values and intensity to lead people to feel such a commonality with others. We learned that design features and various places that people occupy create deeper engagement and offer a certain level of commonality. This knowledge lead us to present the journey to answer the question “Which spaces and places help filter human interaction more than other?� through all the elements and parameters that work in synergy within the urban space.
