I preformed an environmental psychology based study on two neighborhoods in Malmö, Sweden. I compared how the seating arrangements in two areas, Holma and the Western Harbor, help promote social interaction or community in their neighborhoods as well as provide multiple ways for different types of people to connect with the outdoors. In areas that do not seem well used or placed, I explored the reason why and how to improve such areas through research and observation.
