The circle of your community starts in your home, with the most private rooms that only your family members would enter. From there the circles expand - the rooms that your invited guests visit - the garden where you say hi to your closest neighbours - the streets you walk to get to the subway - and so on. The longer distance from your home, the more people in the circle. This means that the further away you do your grocery shopping from your home the less likely it is for you to bump into your neighbours. When a natural meeting point is removed from your neighbourhood one of these circles is broken or completely gone. This is what has happened to many of the detached housing areas, or garden cities, around Stockholm. The garden cities were planned with a central core filled with commercial functions. With time, people started travelling further away from home for shopping, thus small shops in the central core began to close. I want to repair that broken circle of community by bringing back natural meeting points to the neighbourhood, but in a way that would function today and in the future.
