This document summarizes a reaction paper written by Meera Nazreen about the book "Life Between Buildings" by Jan Gehl. Some key points made in the book are that even passive contact like observing people in a park can be a form of human contact. Gehl argues this type of interaction between people in public spaces gives cities life. However, the author argues that in today's technology-focused world, social media allows people to connect without needing to interact in person. But people still do meet up after making online connections. The author concludes that as future architects, they should design public spaces that incorporate modern technologies to meet the needs of current generations.
