The minor street intersecting the main 18m street should be no more than 9m wide, with a slight widening to about 11m at the mouth to form a good T-junction.

- Optimal main street width determined to be 18 meters in Oakland simulation for Frankfurt projectfinding0.865Through real-place simulation in Oakland, California, for the Frankfurt Parkstadt project, a width of 18 meters felt right (20m too wide, 16m too narrow) for an east-west main street with 3-4 story buildings.
- Wide sidewalk should be on the south side of an east-west street for visual comfort (Oakland simulation)finding0.760Standing on the north side looking south into the sun was uncomfortable, while the south side looking north at sunlit buildings was comfortable; therefore the wide sidewalk was placed on the south.
- What do you think is a proper width of the front street? Do you want a big street or a small lane?question0.757Survey Question 3.
- Answer to Question 3.
- Empirical observation of feature splitting.
- Proposed alternative: identify the street, narrow the road, create small flower beds/parks from the local context without closing streets.
- Working with the model of space alone at Parkstadt, introducing smaller passages connecting courtyards into a coherent secondary grid increased life and spatial animation throughout.
- Through stick and mockup testing, these dimensions gave the best fit in the room's feeling.
