More people need to be disseminating the research on this topic, as you've said before planners and commentators love to assume good urban design creates social cohesion on its own. Thanks for writing about this.
Thanks for writing this. I should admit my shortcomings here. My representations about Jane Jacobs and urban sociology concerns only the theory expressed in *Death and Life*, and is innocent of urban sociology more generally.
One note: I claim that the poles of the public-private continuum are streets and residences, while stores and third places lie somewhere in the middle. Neither have I read Oldenburg. My views are derived from history. Some of the histories of the American hotel consider the mixture of private and public within these venues. *Hotel: An American Story* by AK Sandoval-Strausz and *Doing the Town* by Catherine Cocks both probe the private and public with hotels.

Thanks for this and for the recommendation.
My pleasure. I hope more people will read it.
If you feel the urge, I would be interested in Simmel on commensality. I saw it mentioned in Dining Out by Rawson and Shore.
