Cute Hairdos For Snowboarding

inroads in the video : Central Avenue

Although sometimes I feel that the video says more than words and sometimes pictures can say the other day I discovered video function on camera. I knew I had it, but I was very interested in the matter. After putting a 1G to the camera for me and I can give these lujillos .

Nothing, nothing special but if sharing an everyday scene of a transit par excellence, the former Q'Café crossing Monumental.

I think it's interesting to see the movement of people, walking, colors ...
But one thing some points that can help us evaluate what kind of public space we have. In the book, Life between buildings Jan Gehl , mentioned as a starting point that there are generally three types of activities free air in cities:

1 - Activities needed: those that are more or less compulsory, going from one place to another, waiting for buses, in short, the coming and going to fulfill their daily duties.
2 - Optional activities "are those tasks in which they participate if there is desire to do so and the conditions of place and time permit. This category includes activities such as walking to get some fresh air, sit and relax, sunbathe or simply standing somewhere enjoying life "

3 - Social Activities" are those that require the presence of other individuals in public spaces. Include children playing, greetings and conversions , communal activities of different types and, finally, the most popular activity of all-contacts liabilities, ie, just watch and listen to other people "(p 1-2)
To avoid abuse, I leave up there . The issue is that you could say San Jose, has been so for decades for many people, some of the activities necessary rather than the other two categories ... I would say the effort is that increasingly the two categories are also adopted and assumed by the people, and in that sense the repopulation , public spaces, rich and interesting, a healthier environment free from pollution and excessive vehicular traffic is turned into another way of living the city and not a simple City of way .... as seen in the video ... In San José
hard to see kids (as they are now almost on holiday with his parents go up down)! are clear in these communities, neighborhoods, cloistered in schools ... they do not carry the same extent necessary activities in the middle ... as adults ... Continuing

Gehl says "Walking demand space, it is necessary to reasonably walk free without being disturbed, without being pushed and without having to maneuver too. The problem here is defining the level of human tolerance for interference encountered while walking, so walking spaces are sufficiently narrow and rich in experience, but large enough to provide room for maneuver "(P141)

aspect also analyzed the types of densities in the streets, says that a limit adjacent to the overcrowding is around 10-15 people per minute per meter width at the road . "This corresponds to a pedestrian flow of 100 people per minute on a road 10 meters wide. If the intensity rises above this limit, there is a clear trend towards traffic division into two separate tracks, one in each direction. When therefore, pedestrians are forced to keep right, freedom of movement is lost significantly. People are no longer walking but one after another soldiers. Crowding is excessive. "(P143)

For some central peak Avenue is crowded, and it is true sometimes you have to go after people because you can not maneuver much. It is evident that it is really an area of passage, transit is a pedestrian road ... ... in contrast to the Plaza de la Cultura for example, where the benches, and places to see people go and enjoy the atmosphere make this a place of meeting, passing the while, to implement a little of both other categories.
