2(c). Comfort, shelter and security of the users

Note. THREE WORDS, THREE ANSWERS, AND THE THIRD IS USUALLY MISSED. Comfort is whether the place is pleasant to stay in rather than to pass through: somewhere to sit, out of the wind, not too hot. Shelter is the physical version of that, sun, rain and wind, and it is the easiest of the three to point at. SECURITY HERE MEANS FEELING SAFE, not locks. It is about sight lines, lighting, whether the paths have blind corners, whether a person standing in the middle can see who else is present and be seen from outside. A designer decides all of that with planting heights, path routes and where the lamps go, and once you have noticed it on one site you will notice it everywhere.
