+### Problem
+>The process of waiting has inherent conflicts in it.
+
+### Solution
+>In places where people end up waiting (for a bus, for an appointment, for a plane), create a situation which makes the waiting positive. Fuse the waiting with some other activity—newspaper, coffee, pool tables, horseshoes; something which draws people in who are not simply waiting. And also the opposite: make a place which can draw a person waiting into a reverie; quiet; a positive silence.
+
+### Related Patterns
+... in any office, or workshop, or public service, or station, or clinic, where people have to wait - [[Interchange (34)]], [[Health Center (47)]], [[Small Services Without Red Tape (81)]], [[Office Connections (82)]], it is essential to provide a special place for waiting, and doubly essential that this place not have the sordid, enclosed, time-slowed character of ordinary waiting rooms.
+
+The active part might have a window on the street - [[Street Windows (164)]], [[Window Place (180)]], a cafe - [[Street Cafe (88)]], games, positive engagements with the people passing by - [[Opening to the Street (165)]]. The quiet part might have a quiet garden seat - [[Garden Seat (176)]], a place for people to doze [[Sleeping in Public (94)]], perhaps a pond with fish in it - [[Still Water (71)]]. To the extent that this waiting space is a room, or a group of rooms, it gets its detailed shape from [[Light on Two Sides of Every Room (159)]] and [[The Shape of Indoor Space (191)]].

+### Problem
+>No one can be close to others, without also having frequent opportunities to be alone.
+
+### Solution
+>Give each member of the family a room of their own, especially adults. A minimum room of one’s own is an alcove with a desk, shelves, and curtain. The maximum is a cottage—like a [[Teenager's Cottage (154)]] , or an [[Old Age Cottage (155)]]. In all cases, especially the adult ones, place these rooms at the far ends of the intimacy gradient—far from the common rooms.
+
+### Related Patterns
+... the [[Intimacy Gradient (127)]] makes it clear that every house needs rooms where individuals can be alone. In any household which has more than one person, this need is fundamental and essential - [[The Family (75)]], [[House for a Small Family (76)]], [[House for a Couple (77)]]. This pattern, which defines the rooms that people can have to themselves, is the natural counterpart and complement to the social activity provided for in [[Common Areas at the Heart (129)]].
+
+Use this pattern as an antidote to the extremes of "togetherness" created by [[Common Areas at the Heart (129)]]. Even for small children, give them at least an alcove in the communal sleeping area - [[Bed Alcove (188)]]; and for the man and woman, give each of them a separate room, beyond the couples realm they share; it may be an expanded dressing room - [[Dressing Rooms (189)]], a home workshop - [[Home Workshop (157)]], or once again, an alcove off some other room - [[Alcoves (179)]], [[Workspace Enclosure (183)]] - If there is money for it, it may even be possible to give a person a cottage, attached to the main structure - [[Teenager's Cottage (154)]], [[Old Age Cottage (155)]]. In every case there must at least be room for a desk, a chair, and [[Things From Your Life (253)]]. And for the detailed shape of the room, see [[Light on Two Sides of Every Room (159)]] and [[The Shape of Indoor Space (191)]] ...

+### Problem
+>Whether the sacred sites are large or small, whether they are at the center of the towns, in neighborhoods, or in the deepest countryside, establish ordinances which will protect them absolutely—so that our roots in the visible surroundings cannot be violated.
+
+### Solution
+>When natural bodies of water occur near human settlements, treat them with great respect. Always preserve a belt of common land, immediately beside the water. And allow dense settlements to come right down to the water only at infrequent intervals along the water’s edge.
+
+### Related Patterns
+... Water is always precious. Among the special natural places covered by [[Sacred Sites (24)]], we single out the ocean beaches, lakes, and river banks, because they are irreplaceable. Their maintenance and proper use require a special pattern.
+
+The width of the common land will vary with the types of water and the ecological conditions. In one case, it may be no more than a simple stone promenade along a river bank a few feet wide [[Promenade (31)]]. In another case, it may be a swath of dunes extending hundreds of yards beyond a beach -- [[The Countryside (7)]]. In any case, do not build roads along the water within one mile of the water; instead make all the approach roads at right angles to the edge, and very far apart -- [[Parallel Roads (23)]]. If parking is provided, keep the lots small -- [[Small Parking Lots (103)]] ...

+### Problem
+>People need green open places to go to; when they are close they use them. But if the greens are more than three minutes away, the distance overwhelms the need.
+
+### Solution
+>Build one open public green within three minutes’ walk—about 750 feet—of every house and workplace. This means that the greens need to be uniformly scattered at 1,500-foot intervals, through the city. Make the greens at least 150 feet across, and at least 60,000 square feet in area.
+
+### Related Patterns
+... at the heart of neighborhoods, and near all work cominunities, there need to be small greens - [[Identifiable Neighborhood (14)]], [[Work Community (41)]] Of course it makes the most sense to locate these greens in such a way that they help form the boundaries and neighborhoods and backs - [[Subculture Boundary (13)]], [[Neighborhood Boundary (15)]], [[Quiet Backs (59)]]. 
+
+Pay special attention to old trees, look after them - [[Tree Places (171)]]; shape the green so that it forms one or more positive room-like spaces and surround it with trees, or walls, or buildings, but not roads or cars - [[Positive Outdoor Space (106)]], [[Garden Wall (173)]]; and perhaps set aside some part of the green for special community functions - [[Holy Ground (66)]], [[Grave Sites (70)]], [[Local Sports (72)]], [[Animals (74)]], [[Sleeping in Public (94)]] ...

+### Problem
+>Community facilities scattered individually through the city do nothing for the life of the city.
+
+### Solution
+>Create nodes of activity throughout the community, spread about 300 yards apart. First identify those existing spots in the community where action seems to concentrate itself. Then modify the layout of the paths in the community to bring as many of them through these spots as possible. This makes each spot function as a “node” in the path network. Then, at the center of each node, make a small public square, and surround it with a combination of community facilities and shops which are mutually supportive.
+
+### Related Patterns
+... this pattern forms those essential nodes of life which help to generate [[Identifiable Neighborhood (14)]], [[Promenade (31)]], [[Network of Paths and Cars (52)]], and [[Pedestrian Street (100)]]. To understand its action, imagine that a community and its boundary are growing under the influence of [[Community of 7000 (12)]], [[Subculture Boundary (13)]], [[Identifiable Neighborhood (14)]], [[Neighborhood Boundary (15)]], [[Eccentric Nucleus (28)]], and [[Density Rings (29)]]. As they grow, certain "stars" begin to form, where the most important paths meet. These stars are potentially vital spots of a community. The growth of these stars and of the paths which form them need to be guided to form genuine community crossroads.
+
+Connect those centers which are most dense, with a wider, more important path for strolling -- [[Promenade (31)]]; make special centers for night activities -- [[Night Life (33)]]; whenever new paths are built, make certain that they pass through the centers, so that they intensify the life still further -- [[Paths and Goals (120)]]; and differentiate the paths so they are wide near the centers and smaller away from them -- [[Degrees of Publicness (36)]]. At the heart of every center, build a small public square -- [[Small Public Squares (61)]], and surround each square with an appropriate mix of mutually self-reinforcing facilities -- [[Work Community (41)]], [[University as a Marketplace (43)]], [[Local Town Hall (44)]], [[Health Center (47)]], [[Birth Places (65)]], [[Teenage Society (84)]], [[Shopfront Schools (85)]], [[Individually Owned Shops (87)]], [[Street Cafe (88)]], [[Beer Hall (90)]], [[Food Stands (93)]] ...
