Sure, let’s break it down. Straight grid streets feel ordered and efficient but can feel claustrophobic if they’re too tight. Curved, winding roads give a sense of freedom and invite curiosity. And the gaps—parks, plazas, sidewalks—are the negative space that lets us breathe. If a city is cluttered with too many corners and little breathing room, it’s a recipe for stress. So, balance and open space are the real mood setters.

That’s the sweet spot—let’s sketch it cleanly, keep the layout tight, and let the data breathe so the city’s pulse feels real, not cluttered. Who’s in?

Great, let’s pull the data, trim the clutter, keep the gaps wide for the stories to breathe—ready to map the city’s pulse with clean precision.
