There are typically certain elements in urban areas that encourage human interaction. Similarly, there seem to be a limited number of interractions amongst humans that typically take place in urban settings. For example, physical interaction, other than just a simple holding of hands between a parent and child, or arms around the waists of two lovers, rarely is seen in urban spaces. Also, loud interactions, with the exception of public performances, seems to be quite rare in public.
On the other hand, any activity that seems to be a social norm is found with great frequency in urban areas. People talking on cell phones or speaking quietly with their travelling companions can be witnessed all the time. Also, when public seating is made available, people tend to gather around and congregate in areas such as this. My research will explore further the various types of human interaction found in urban spaces.
