Document Summary
Nodes: channels along which the observer customarily, occasionally, and potentially moves. Examples are streets, paths, transit routes, or any other defined path of movement. Key features, how we make sense of and experience urban areas: boundaries dividing separate regions. Seams joining regions or barriers closing one region from another. Can be considered as linear elements but not paths. Examples of physical edges are shorelines, walls, railroad cuts, or edges of development. Sometimes they can be perceived boundaries: medium-to-large sections of a city. Two dimensional features (spatial), commonality, entering into or passing through districts.
