1. Visibility and accessibility

Whyte’s perspective: Whyte emphasizes that the success of public spaces relies heavily on their visibility and accessibility. An obvious entrance and clear path are crucial.

Map analysis: In this map, the main entrance is clearly marked and the path is intuitive, helping visitors to easily enter and navigate the park.

Map analysis: The plant coverage of the map is very sufficient. There is also a sea of flowers. There are also plenty of trees. Shade can be provided for people to rest.
