Problem
Artificial separation of home and workplace
Nature:
Many cities regulate zones for 'work' and other zones for 'living', and in many cases enforce the separation by law. In such cases, most people are unable to walk from their homes to their workplace or to shops, creating a feeling of separation between the various daily activities, while commercial neighbourhoods are deserted outside of working hours, thus creating a feeling of insecurity and alienation.
