The street is the support for urban public life, a condenser of every social group. It emphasizes differences by simultaneous exposure, making comparisons inevitable. It effaces differences because it is the common denominator whose structure and rules must be reckoned with by everyone. It is paradoxical and contradictory, the city space in which each person is most exposed but least acknowledged and known.
