They have been using lanes to separate different modes of mobility but separation is not the goal. It's their solution to make it more predictable in terms of direction and speed.

But then, the beauty of having different modes on a single shared surface is sacrificed for safety.

If we cannot scale everything down to human size, then the main key is to slow everything down to pedestrian speed. In order to do that, we can place obstacles on their way, so nothing can actually go faster than a pedestrian.

Now, these obstacles are not something alien. They are our buildings, shops, and furniture. This way, instead of defining different paths, we just take spaces we need and everywhere else becomes the path. Freeing, isn't it?

Size and arrangement of the obstacles, define the maximum speed and size of the moving objects, and then, size and maneuver abilities of each mode of mobility, filter them, as they move through space. Creating different modes, different flows, and different circulations on different floors.

Therefore, bigger vehicles can only go up to the first floor, but pedestrians and micro mobilities can move freely through space where all the fun happens.


There is no other vertical access for the public except for the ramp system.
Rules are:
Take your micro-mobility of choice and drive through the obstacles.
Go where ever you feel comfortable going with your current mode of mobility.

As we go up, not only the flow but spatial quality changes.

Lower floors:
- Bigger obstacles, more inside space and less outside
- Wider paths
- Smoother and faster flow
- Suitable for bigger stores, neighborhood Grab n Go, Pick up / Drop off / Ride-hailing
- More about shopping and less about leisure
- 0-45 min experience

As we go up:
- The number of buildings and other obstacles increases as their size decreases
- Causing slower flow with lots of stops
- Narrower pathways
- Suitable for smaller shops and restaurants with outdoor spaces. Country village
- More about leisure and less about shopping.
- Maybe Sunday morning plan for a family on the fourth floor.
