Summary[edit]

Description
English: 13 December 2008. Muddy and grey in the afternoon rain.

People's feet have cut a path across the small green from Rawlinson Terrace to High Road, Tottenham. ________________________________________

§ "Back in the 1950s when plans started to appear for one-story, spread-out high schools instead of three or four storied traditional buildings, architects for one of these first new schools—in Connecticut if I remember correctly—weren’t sure where to locate walks for students and staff criss-crossing outdoor grounds between classrooms and other facilities like gyms, auditoriums, and cafeterias. Should they rely on guesswork? Or depend on neat geometric schemes? Should perhaps everything be paved? The architects let the problem stand unsolved until the school had been in use throughout its first winter, during which they mapped the paths which users had made in the snow. The architects let users inform them where paths should go." — Jane Jacobs. (Source)
